    Lastly, current silicon fabs have boxes of wafers that at the final stages can exceed $1M in the retail value. They have robots that handle those. If the 100,000 TB is worth something close to that, then a human will not be carrying it.

    Pharma has entered the chat…they just have warehouse people riding forklifts with pallets worth much more than $1M.

      I’m sure pharmacy has some crazy value density, but it’s hards to put accurate values on their products because of insurance.

      The boxes of wafers I was talking about is roughly 1.5 ft cubed. The fabs will have hundreds of these boxes moving around by robots at any one time.
