I was at work and some computers that were nearly maxed on storage were basically unusable. This doesn’t make sense because my understanding was RAM was the storage the computer uses to run tasks and the storage was for things downloaded
My guess would be that the storage is used for ‘long term’ RAM, something that will be needed for a while anyways but idk. Outside of that I can’t really think of anything else

Computers will store the stuff that won’t fit into RAM on the hard drive in a Paging File (windows) or Swap (Unix/Linux). You don’t want to get over 95% drive utilization because it is now having to shuffle drive storage around a lot more than if it could just write anywhere it wants.
