Hi, And 4 GB cards are slightly more cost effective over 4 1 GB cards.

First, it came with a lifetime warranty, so the cost wasn't an issue if there's a crash. Second, I at least never have stuff on my BP that I don't have somewhere else, so if a card does go bad, I won't lose data. Again, just another perspective.
