Goodness, I see that you are right. I've never noticed those on sale at 
any of my usual suppliers.

I can't imagine why anyone would make a flash chip with a capacity 
that's not a power of 2 ... but perhaps in this case the chip is made 
to 256GB and some space is reserved/mapped out?

Thanks for setting the record straight.
