Why is WPI Flash Disk has only 120 MB capacity?

Hello guys, I recently received a WPI branded flash drive from this year’s FRC kit, and I noticed that its size is only 120 MB, which surprised me a bit. Does anyone have information on why it is this size or has experienced a similar situation?

Prior discussion of it is here:

Thanks for your answers. I didn’t see that post before.

No worries; there are a bazillion CD threads created in the first week of build season and it’s really easy to miss one.

I remember being overjoyed to get my first 128MB flash drive, which cost only $50. You could hold more than 80 floppies worth of stuff on it! Of course, you still had to use a floppy to load the driver for the flash drive onto Windows 98 systems.
