> Hard to say but the "up to" may be only the limit the framework company wants to stock and sell.

It has to be something like that. That's a standard length M.2 slot...

> https://community.frame.work/t/will-framework-chromebook-wor... Installed WD Black SN850X 4 TB (WDS400T2X0E) on my Framework Chromebook. I’ve been using it for a month and a half now. Everything is fine. The only point, probably due to which the use of such disks is not officially recommended, is the excessive reserved space for the OS. Apparently this is a legacy of the times when disks in Chromebooks were of small sizes. If you are happy with the situation where a quarter of the disk will be idle for technical reasons, then you can take it.



your google fu is stronger than mine. I specifically tried to find such a thread and failed. Well done! The stocking argument makes sense to me, and makes more physical sense as well, since, as actual hardware limitations, both the RAM and storage limits would have been highly unusual and would have almost certainly needed to be purposefully implemented for some reason.
