@NON-EUCLIDEAN, die size for the 128Gb chip is listed ~175mm^2 on other sites, so roughly 13mm x 13mm.
In other words, you could line 13 of them across a medium sized banana (USDA).
Or even simpler again, you could place about 1,117,869 of those dies side by side on a tennis court.
Or easiest of all to understand, you could cover the surface of the moon in 217,100,000,000,000,000 of them, turning it into an SSD with a capacity of 3,474,000,000,000,000 TB.

I got lost in all of your math, but this simple analogy helped me to understand. Thank you.
