They pump up the read/write rates by using parallel lanes, e.g. multiple independent arrays of flash, so there might be 4, 6, or 8 or more of those.  And thus not a power of two.  And SSDs generally don't advertise their full capacity, since not doing so allows them to play some tricks for performance and reliability reasons.  So again, not always powers of two.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fanfoot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 16th 2009 3:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Corsair cranks with Extreme Series X32, X64 and X128 SSDs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/corsair-cranks-with-extreme-series-x32-x64-and-x128-ssds/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/corsair-cranks-with-extreme-series-x32-x64-and-x128-ssds/</guid><description><![CDATA[512GB for $150?
