Yes I don't get it either. Why dedicate capacity to a market with lower margins and more competition when you could use it for a higher margin market where you're not chasing somebody else?
I recently purchased the 120GB X25-M and had the Windows 7 installer create and format a partition on it.
I made the partition exactly 102400MiB (exactly 100GiB) and in Disk Management, it does list the drive as 100.0GiB. However in Explorer, the drive is listed as 99.9GiB and lo and behold...

Nowadays, efficiency is near the top of my list. Hey, I simply hate how warm the room with the computer gets in the summer months. Second is buying just...
This whole exercise seems like it was concocted by a marketer.
GTX name? Check.
New 500-series model number? Check.
Ti suffix? Check.
192-bit memory? Check.
1GB frame buffer? Check.
A lot of checklist. Not a lot of result since none of the above seems to have added anything.
