It has an SD card reader. You can double the storage for super cheap.
- mmastrac 12y agoYou could even triple it with the new 200GB SD cards, but the performance won't be that great. Not so bad for storing documents and large media, I suppose. Any idea if it uses one of the many standard-ish SSD SATA or PCIe interfaces?
- darcyparker 12y agoYou can upgrade the NGFF drive in many other chromebooks. I suspect you should be able to do the same for the new pixel. For example, see bubble 4 in the image at the bottom of this page: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/acer-c720-chromebook http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-fo... I upgraded my ngff to 128GB on my acer c720P chromebook.
- ash 12y agoThis option doesn't seem to be available in Pixel. SSD is soldered.
- cjbprime 12y agoI have bad news -- the SD card reader on both the new and old Chromebook Pixel is hooked up over USB2 (i.e. max 20MB/sec transfer rate). There is no internal expansion via msata/pcie. And the SSD is soldered down.
- derekp7 12y agoWould it be worth putting a large SD card on it, and using a portion of the internal storage as high speed cache?
- cjbprime 12y agoI guess so. The question is whether it's worth spending $1k on a laptop with such a restriction, vs. just buying a different one for about the same price that's actually expandable.
