Consider the problem though. Random access to trillions of records with no
guarantee any one will be fetched twice in a short time frame nullifies the
effectiveness of a cache unless the cache is enormous. If such a cache
were that big, 100's of TB's, I wouldn't be looking at on-disk storage
options. :)
