Depends on what industry you work in. A Cache may look more like a giant pile of weapons as opposed to some memory in a computer.

Eh, it's not industry-dependent so much as industries have specific reductions. A cache is long-term storage. The weapons industry would expect it to be filled with weapons, and maybe some body armor. A scouting party would expect tools for equipment repair, rations, and maybe some minor comfort gear. A computer scientist would expect it to be full of bytes.
