128GB does not equal 1TB.. something is wrong with their math.

Likely a typo as one 1TB is 1024gb

The quote was “...and grouping eight together will equal 1Tb, or 128GB of data storage in a small package about the size of a fingertip.”

So, eight of these chips together (larger than a fingertip) is 1TB, or you can have just one, which *would* be the size of your fingertip.

The chips store 128 gigabits.
8 chips will store 1 terabyte.

something is wrong with their math.

The article says they are ganging 8 together to get the terabyte.

Having a discussion like this just 30 years ago would have been unthinkable.

In 5 years we'll be talking about petabytes.

And I don't know the greek prefixes after that. I'm going to need to study. And need more memory.
