What is the relationship between access speed and storage capacity across the standard computer memory hierarchy?
A. Lower capacity devices always exhibit the slowest access times.
B. Access speed and capacity are completely identical metrics across all levels.
C. Devices with larger capacities always feature the fastest access speeds.
D. As storage capacity increases, the relative access speed generally decreases.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In the memory hierarchy, the fastest options (registers, cache) are small and expensive, while large capacity options (HDDs, SSDs) are farther from the CPU and have slower access speeds.
