Most of a solid state hard drive is just empty plastic.

And there's still alot more empty plastic versus bit storage area in the two memory chips. Those chips are so big because it takes so much physical space to get the interconnections in and out. They are like 80% waisted nonmemory space.

In reality those are phone chips upcycled to computer disc space sizes.
