That's a particularly odd configuration of flash chips, though. That's why you don't see 96GB SSDs very often. Generally, they're found in powers of two.

Its a marketing/pricing game. Manufacture all of them with 128G of storage. Every single one of them. Then the consumer gets to pay a varying amount to be permitted to use what they paid for.

This is a VERY old idea in the computing world.

Physical 128GB with 96GB user-accessible sounds plausible enough.
