WHY is the 4 GB one listed as $55.43, while the higher capacities run $6.99 to $26.81?

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

You are looking at listings from a multitude of suppliers. Some people have a need for a smaller capacity and they may be in short supply as the preference is towards the higher capacity. Basic laws of supply and demand.

That's an excellent question......, unfortunately I think that only Amazon or what ever retailer that's selling the drive can answer! Reason being that in my opinion, these drives are great and the only thing that separates them is the capacity that they have. So if you can buy a larger drive for less money, and with all due respect, don't be a Schmuck and buy a drive with higher capacity! :-) The physical size is the same for all of the Cruzer fit drives!

Because Moore's law is a bitch and any buyer not beware be bebitched. Dude, you just answered your own question, Why is not as important as what. Some people will still buy over-priced, some people will still buy overpriced in person as opposed to appropriately price online, which type of person are you?

It should come with 6GB according to the title and that is what the one I purchased came with.

One is 16 GB the other is 64 GB other than that I believe they are the same....

Although the name implies it is 750GB, the one I got is 500... This annoyed me a bit, but it works great so far

I don't think you missed it. It just isn't advertised in the ad. That's very foolish on their part. There's no way to tell how many customers didn't buy because of this. I had to research, research, and research to make sure before I decided to buy but it has 8 GB.

That is normal. The system reserves a portion for "operating overhead." Only the difference is available. I have 4 gb installed, 2 x 2; only 3.0 is available.

Yea I have read in multiple sources that it is 1 RAM slot filled with a 1 gig stick that you remove and replace with the $20 buck 2 gig stick. I'm curious how cheap these 1 gig sticks are going to go for sale for and if there is any thing a computer builder/hacker could do with all the extra EEE 1 gig sticks out there. I'm still curious why they couldn't just cost the extra $20 and come maxed out.

Mine is 4GB but it has worked pretty well. I already have several years of having it and it works excellently

I'm not sure if this question is specific for our listing or not but ours are 160gb as listed.

Probably because SanDisk produced less of them, meaning a higher per-unit cost. That cost is, in turn, passed onto the consumer. It's unfortunate.

It's 5400RPM, so access times are "slower" than a 7200RPM drive. It has an 8meg cache vs. a 16m cache. I'd venture to say that neither of these are noticeable to the typical user. It's hot-pluggable SATA II, which are current capabilities. The 7200RPM/16m version is only about $5 more.

You can't consider Amazon pricing to always make sense, nor stay the same. Currently 1 x 4GB is $36 but 2 x 4GB is only $61. As Manuel mentioned the advantage is odds are much higher they are identical or at least the manufacturer expects them to be compatible used as a pair, while the disadvantage is that if one of the two is defective or fails then you may have to send them both in for replacement instead of being able to have the computer limp along with half the memory till you receive the replacement.

I'm wondering the same exact thing. I saw another one by AJ Wholesale, but they're charging $599 for the 32GB one...so I'm just waiting when to hear from these guys. I hope it's not too long...I've Googled it and still can't find an answer.

Several model variations are available. Some have 750 GB at 5400 RPM while some have 1 TB at 5400 RPM.

I purchased 169$ version but have got the package with 4 GB SD card included.

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.

The 640gb is supposed to be faster than the 750gb model, and from what I've seen it gets a higher percentage of 5-star reviews. Therefore it's probably a bigger selling drive, higher demand drives the price higher, it's just basic economics.
