I know the specs on the Framework Chromebook say up to 1tb nvme storage, but is it possible to put in a 2 tb nvme drive in? Will it cause issues or even work?

This feels like a good question for support. While the slot for the drive should support any NVMe drive, I cannot find any information on compatibility with the hardware/software, and that could limit you to a max drive space.

In addition to steam, another reason for additional local storage would be if the “crostini” linux environment is being used. It doesn’t have to use a lot of space, but if one had multiple VMs that could use up more storage.

When I received my Framework Chromebook I installed a 2tb nvme drive into it as well as 64gb of ram and it worked. Booted and ran everything just fine. I can’t say if it had any issues beyond that because I did not have the Framework Chromebook for very long before I sent it back. I was not impresse…
