Due to the recent floods in Taiwan, home to many of the world's largest Hard drive manufacturers. The simple HD is now becoming increasingly rare and expensive. A 1TB ( terrabyte = 1,000GB ) Western Caviar 7,200 RPM 6Gb/s HD costed about $99 less than a year ago. The current price? $249.99
Another expensive form of storage would be an SSD ( solid state drives ). They function the same as a mcechanical HD, except they have no moving parts and their acess times are approx 20 times faster than that of a mechanical HD. That being said they are also quite expensive, ( these drives were not effected by the flood ) with prices currently arround $2/GB.

∙ 13y agoWell, if you mean RAM it's probably something like Corsair's high performance stuff, complete with pretty little heatsinks - other companies sell similar products but they're all around the same price. Unless you're overclocking, there's not a lot of point in buying it really...
If you mean storage memory, then the answer is simple: Solid State Drives (SSDs). These are essentially a lot of RAM that can hold the information it's given even when the power is turned off (ordinary RAM cannot). The reason they are expensive is basically because RAM is expensive - not when you're buying 1Gb sticks, but when you need 256Gb of the stuff, the costs do mount up.

What cache typically has the most memory?
Caches are generally defined as L1, L2, and L3. If a CPU has any cache memory at all, it will have at least L1 cache. L1 cache is the fastest, and most expensive, type of cache memory. Usually CPUs will only have a very small amount of L1. L2 is typically larger, less expensive, and slower than L1. L3 is less expensive, larger, and slower than L1 or L2, if present. All three levels of cache memory are magnitudes faster than system memory. Systems withequivalenthardware, including CPUs will identical speeds, will perform better at certain tasks when more cache memory is present, with L1 cache adding the most performance boost.
What is the least expensive type of ram memory per MB?
I'm not sure what you mean by "type" (whether referring to a particular brand or not). Generally, memory that is DDR2 instead of DDR3 will be less expensive. Memory that runs at lower numbers of Mhz, for example 1600Mhz instead of 1866Mhz or 2666Mhz, will also be less expensive and also ram with smaller Gb in their banks will be less expensive. For example: if you had a computer and you were going to put 16Gb of RAM into it, you could achieve that by either putting in 4 banks (4 "sticks") of memory which are 4Gb each or by putting in 2 banks of 8Gb each. A "stick" of memory which is 8Gb is more expensive than a "stick" with 4.
