it's different. See Honeycomb (in transformer or xoom or most tablets) or Android 3.x doesn't support running/storing apps or app data to external storage - be it SD Card, MicroSD or USB drives.
if you look at the file structure, the folder /sdcard is in the internal memory itself. Quite different than say, virtually every phone which runs Android 2.x where /sdcard is the actual SD/MicroSD itself.
if you're like me, been downloading 3D/Tegra apps like crazy especially during these $0.10 app sale for the last 7 days, you'll see your space shrinking like crazy. Most 2D apps are OK, the highest amount of downloadable data being only 20MB or 50MB. But 3D apps, not so small.
Asphalt 6 HD: 500+ MB
GOF2: 500MB
Great Battles: Medieval: 500MB
Shadowgun (really pretty and awesome 3D shooter): 600MB
Captain America: 250MB
Riptide: 500MB
Trainz: 300MB
Pro Eleven Soccer: 150MB
...... and so on
most of these 3D games will download extra files to the /sdcard folder. so in Honeycomb/Transformer it will be the internal memory, while phones it will be in the microsd card folder.
my 3D games in total (around 20) takes up almost 8GB of space
luckily my work files can be saved to my 32GB microsd and 32GB sd. if you read from llobak's link, you can have a better idea of what google is doing with honeycomb (and android 4.0 icw
):
you can read further in the link to see why with Honeycomb google decided that /sdcard should be internal, and not the real sd card (which is /Removable/SD or /Removable/MicroSD). I can understand google's decision, but it would leave power users like me unable to maximise the full use of my Android machine. If 16GB is a lot for you, then OK man, good on ya
but for people like me, we really have to choose carefully of our Honeycomb/ICW device with big big internal storage, like the 64GB Transformer Prime 
i get what u mean, i am also a power user. and i'm also downloading games like crazy lately. I've got tonnes of high end 3d games that uses a lot of storage space, but until now, my 16gb sd card isn't full yet, that's why if u get the 32gb version of the prime (i'm sure u'll AT LEAST get the 32gb), space won't be a problem. those users who are not as crazy like us, 16gb internal storage is more than enough.if you look at the file structure, the folder /sdcard is in the internal memory itself.
