After installing into a Acer C720 does chrome OS updating still work or did the SSD installation break that feature for the OS?

ChromeOS will still work just fine, but will need to reinstall it after swapping this new drive in. Just make sure to download and install the chrome recovery image to a USB thumb drive before hand and you will be fine.

I don't see a CD-RW device on the list of supported devices from Google: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183093?hl=enI also found this thread (a little dated, from 3/2013) about just using a CD drive (not a CD-RW) and the user said it was not compatible: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/sites/s8fWpKU5DkA

This is a fully functioning windows laptop. It is not a Chromebook. You should have no problem installing any windows based software. It is a good computer.

Not sure what the other people answering this question were thinking, but as with ALL ChromeBooks--it's running ChromeOS (with a Linux Kernel), not Windows 7 or Windows 8.

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.

It works with (Ubuntu) Linux. Chrome OS is a Linux kernel-based operating system designed by Google (quote from Wikipedia). So it probably works. The specific question is: "Did Google include the driver for this device when creating the Chrome OS variant of the Linux kernel?". My guess is that they did. But that is only a guess.

Only know that Windows XP to 7 work with it. Not too sure about Chrome stuff?

I installed on a Samsung Chromebook Snow (2012) running a developer build. Worked right out of the box.

No it doesn't, also be aware it doesn't run a OS like win or mac. Chrome isn't compatible with a lot of programs I found out after the fact

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.

No idea. I know nothing about ChromeBooks. Depends on whether ChromeOS and ChromeBook support the device which is a pretty standard USB storage device. I know of no reason why it wouldn't work, but, again, I am ignorant about ChromeOS. Good luck.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Gerry! Yes, Chrome OS has recently added inbuilt support for the chipset inside http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQM8586 . All that is required is to connect the http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQM8586 to the Chromebook and connect a live Ethernet cable to it. The green and amber LEDs would light up and Chromebook will detect that a wired network is available. Hope the above information helps!

I have no idea. This is s new generation SSD. It is a direct upgrade for the OEM drive in the Acer C 720 Chromebook.

Yes. I have my laptop which has Windows installed, attached to the HDMI connection on the Chromebase. The hdmi connection is the only one available to connect another computer. Once connected, you turn the Chromebase on, then press "chrome" on the Chromebase monitor to switch from Chrome OS to your other computer- works GREAT. I have started using the Chromebase more an more over Windows pc. Much faster bootup an shut down
