The levels of the storage hierarchy include: main storage, such as memory and direct access storage device (DASD) cache; primary storage (DASD containing user-accessible data); migration level 1 (DASD containing data in a space-saving format); and migration level 2 (tape cartridges containing data in a space-saving format). See also hierarchical storage management, migration level 1, migration level 2, object storage hierarchy, primary storage.
