Edit Reason: eMMC + SD is OK

Only the original community batch of the PBP — all of which have already been ordered — will ship with a 128 GB eMMC. All of those have ISO keyboards. I know of no plans to ship the PBP with both an 128 GB eMMC and an ANSI keyboard. The ANSI keyboard versions will ship with 64 GB eMMC, although you can buy a 128 GB eMMC to replace it.
You can have an SD card the eMMC mounted at the same time.
OK, thanks. I had in mind that the online order form might evolve to have checkbox options for things like drive and keyboard. There used to be a really tiny hard drive the size of a Compact Flash card, not sure if they're still around or what the capacities might be up to by now. Interface was PCMCIA though I think. I have about 5 2.5" 1-2 TB drives that were $50-70, they're cheap and effective. I put a couple in StarTech USB cases.
I see there are some 1 TB SS drives starting around $150 now http://www.pricewatch.com/price/hard_rem...es/ssd_1tb but I'll have to wait for an ANSI keyboard.
I guess I could live with 64 GB + 128 GB.
