Either that or just because it's not worth developing their drives at such small intervals. I'm not entirely sure, just a stab in the dark. | Nope, you pretty much have it.
Flash modules come in nice numbers like 4gb, actually in reality they come in nice clean numbers like binary ones. as such its harder to make say "500gb" than it is to make "512gb"
