The Toshiba Chromebook 2 line uses soldered on eMMC for storage. This is not like a replaceable SSD. For me, this is the ONLY reason I haven't purchased a Toshiba Chromebook 2, 16G of local storage just is not sufficient and suggesting either a USB or SDHC storage only works for simple needs. If you'd like to run Chrubuntu or some other alternate OS on the, 16G just isn't enough room for working space.

hi you may try 64gb sd card for your storage needs amazon has offers some times for the cards for less then 25 usd!

That would be an unfortunate no, (unless you have serious soldering skills and can find a compatible unit). Go to Youtube and search Toshiba Chromebook SSD upgrade fail. The motherboard, as seen in the video, also shows space for an additional 2GB of ram. I have this Toshiba, and I also have an Acer C720 4GB (with upgraded 128GB SSD). For the way I use my Chromebooks, I can find no difference in performance between the two. If you want to add more local storage, the Toshiba does have a SD card slot that leaves none of the card sticking out (very nice). I started with a 64GB card but I just got a 128GB card (it was as much as the SSD I put in the Acer). I have no problems playing back 1080p video from the card. the only thing I don't like is that every time I log on the files app opens up because it detects the card.

Short answer: Yes. I did it and it works great. Long Answer: It's not simple, especially if you are upgrading to a smaller disk. 1) Create a recovery disk/thumb drive with the Windows Utility. Besides being a good idea, they offer you the option to delete the Recovery partition from the back end of the drive. Doing so will allow you to more easily manipulate the existing partitions for transfer. 2) Delete the blank d: Data partition. I am not sure why they break it up like this. Possibly shrink the System partition (I first went to a 128GB drive, then to a 256). 3) Unscrew the bottom, remove the drive (REAL SHUT DOWN FIRST!!!) 4) I tried to use Clonezilla to duplicate the drive, but this didn't work so well. So I ended up using a simple dd command in linux. If all this is beyond you, just find a local geek to help. 5) Plugged in the new drive, screwed it all back up, and it worked! ONE ISSUE!!! Upon reboot, Windows thinks it's a special version called Windows To Go, and won't let you install from the MS Store.

Any sata drive should be fine, and all of the versions are backwards compatible with the sata version. You just have to screw it into the caddy on your current drive, but if you don't need that much space look at a 128 GB solid state drive sdd at 2.5 inches. Make your lap top faster on the cheap.

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

Hi so you want to trade my 128GB for your 256GB? Email me at geraldino DOT 10 ATT gmail DOT com, I'm looking to upgrade my HDD on my UX31. Thanks.

You can only go above 8GB if you do not use the mSATA drive. With an mSATA drive installed, it will only recognize 8GB max even if there is 16 GB installed.

Mine has a 500 Gig hard drive. I also have an external usb hard drive (500 gig.) I don't know about upgrading the internal drive.

No, use your manufacture drive tool , third party software or simply reformat existing drive

Yes, to max of 16 GB. See http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model-datasheet/DQ.SQEAA.001

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

Upgrading is possible. I just changed my HDD to an SSD. now it is super fast. Memory upgrade is also possible. though apple recommends only upto an 8GB, people have proved that it can really be upgraded to a 16GB. 128 GB SSD cost 50+ USD where as an 8GB(2x4) cost nearly 70 USD or less.

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the 128GB SSD with a larger MSATA SSD. I have not done it myself, but I opened up the laptop and saw the MSATA that's in there. I didn't see any place to put an additional internal drive.

why not upgrade the internal drive to a larger size - the unit is basically a box that contains a hard drive

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

Yes you can. If you are going to replace the drives try to go with the same name drives or at least 7200 RPM.
