If a cache can be made as large as the device for which it is caching for instance a cache as large as a disk why not make it that large and eliminate the device?
Though the size of a cache has increased over time, so too has the size of hard disk. An economical comparison of cache versus hard disk space in a cost per MB analsysis will show that a cache would be significantly more expensive. Furthermore, cache in general is considered "temporary" or volatile storage which means that the contents of the storage device is lost when the system is powered off. A hard disk, on the other hand, is "long term" or non-volatile storage; when the system is powered off, the hard disk still safely holds the data stored on it.
What is the approx size of a hard disk?

Laptop drives are approximately 2.5" wide and 1/3" high. Capacity varies widely. In these modern size formats, you can typically find drives anywhere from 20 GB to 1.5 TB.
What if Cache size is equal to main memory size?
If we took size of cache as large as size of main memory then the main purpose of cache(take less time) would come to end, as larger the cache slower would be it's processing speed.
