Why are these in 120 GB, 240GB... and not 128GB, 256GB...

Steffan is correct. Look up overprovisioning in google. Sandisk and Intel does this for you while companies like Samsung expect you to just partition the drive smaller or use their tool to shrink the drive if you install it using the Max size. You need to over provision an ssd for it to work properly, but some companies want you to see that 256GB on the box and think "Well, that is bigger than 240GB, Ill get the bigger one"

Because some of the space is needed by the controller for SSD wear and caching. 120GB = 128GB, 240GB = 256GB, etc. The manufacturers mentioning the lower capacity aren't lying to you. The ones that say the larger capacity will say ~120GB Usable Capacity somewhere.Hope this helps!More info: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1371468

I am not the seller; I bought one these for my wife for Christmas...and yes, that does appear to be a misprint the RAM is 4GB. The hard drive is 500GB total (445GB for usable storage, 2.16GB for the Recover partition, 99MB for HP Tools, and 199MB for the System Partition); hope this helps.

Because when it came out there wasn't really any 128GB cards out. There is a limit to how many songs you can have it read in the player, so only use a 128GB card if your music library is a bunch of 24bit files etc.

128gb will not have exactly 128gb, if your data is 127.2gb, this will not work.

I never checked, as they were bad to begin with. I had to return them because one was registering 2GB and the other 4GB, instead of 8GB each (as was advertized). I would not recommend.

The GB's determine the storage capacity, not the size of the card itself. The cards are the same size, but 2GB holds more than the 1GB.

I bought mine through Apple, so I customized it with 256GB of storage. I paid $1629, with the student discount, so if it's much lower then that, I'd say it's the 128GB version. Anyway, I'd trust the product description, if it says 128GB, that's what it is.

Man, if you only knew at the time of this post how right you are.... 128 GB version is still not here!

Actually this product didnt work fine for me.. They issued refund for it. This show as 32gb but we can't even save 2gb in it. Donno wats d issue was.

maybe because the JetDrive Lite 330 is the smallest of all the JetDrive Lite sd cards, and they are too small to fit 128GB?

Product Information is, aparently, wrong. I bought this model and has 256GB!

It's because those are 1000MB Gigabytes instead of the 1024MB Gibibytes Windows use to measure the size, Those can also be called Gigabytes, hence the confusion. If you plug it on a mac it will say it's 30GB, but the file sizes will also seem bigger so no additional data can be stored

Hi Marcus, As stated in our description, this model is the 256mb version. We also carry the 1gb model as well.

Amazon just asked me to answer this, so I'm assuming its from the same listing that I got mine from. The one I received had 8GB, so beware.

Aha!!I was also getting confused by the discrepancy.40GB solid state drive. That explains it.

Dear Jose, These G-Drives come in 5400 and 7200rpm versions... read carefully! Luke

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.
