I've seen one crash so far which happened when I left it running
overnight. Haven't had chance to track down why. Generally though, I've
not have the unreliably you mention. Upgrades work ok. If that's
reproducible, can you provide some more info, debug output, even a
YouTube video of the process for us to see what's happening?

I just ordered a second Chromebook, which is coming next week. I'll rip
it apart and poke at a few things (not for release). Also, I ordered a
128GB SD Card to see how well that will work. As far as my non-crashing
storage, I'm using a 32GB 45MB/s Class 10 SanDisk card right now.

Jon.
