Can anybody suggest a good and large ssd upgrade for a Chromebox? Some of the ssd's I've seen online have reviews saying that they fail after a few months. I'm also wondering what the max size is that can be installed. I would prefer anything at or above 200 GB.

Just curious but why do you want to upgrade it?

I am guessing he wants a "larger than 16GB" SSD and I don't blame him.

Just wanted to update. I did end up buying the Transcend 256 GB 42 mm M.2 SSD and installed it into a hp chromebox. Everything has worked fine so far in the couple hours I have used it. I have kodibuntu up and running with extra apps like steam and chrome.While I had this before on the 16 gig drive I now have plenty of space left where as before it was a squeeze.

Steam wasn't to hard to set up. All you do is install it, and xbox controller works out of the box.Haven't tried limelight yet. I'm mainly wanting the extra space for emulators and so I can apt-get install all day long. Maybe trying to use steamos as a base later on. It requires more space.

@ Matt, If I was to install say a 256G SSD in the Asus chromebox dual boot with OpenELECT and ChromeOS. Would your reccomendation to keep the OE partition not more than 9G still apply? Tks
