    Good day all, I own a Samsung Series 5 XE500C21 Chromebook (WiFi + 3G; XE500C21-H04US) dual booting in DEVMODE ChromeOS and Ubuntu 11.10. I have a Cisco LINKSYS USB 300M USB Ethernet Adapter.

    I am planning to pull the Verizon 3G WWAN Card out of the mPCIe WWAN slot (as I live overseas) and either put in a:

    Wisair Wireless USB Card (UWB)
    https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=h...oductBrief.pdf

    or...

    MR04 (Version 3.0) Flash SD Card Reader adapter... I am planning to use a 64GB SDXC for storage of my music, E-Book, and PDF files only.
    http://www.hwtools.net/CardReader/MR04.html

    Any advice about either of these options?

    I know I already have an SD card reader on my chromebook but just thought a SDXC card would be safer plugged in internally. Any recommended SDXC cards that I should considering using?

    BTW: I am replacing the factory installed SSD (16 GB San Disk Mini-SATA PCI-Express SSD) with a MyDigitalSSD 32GB Super Cache mSATA SSD.

    Any other ideas/upgrades I am all ears.

    Cheers and respects.
