Got one where I work - 258 gig no problem. What is a problem is the unit will not boot up with it in place - must try to boot from the card instead, and guess what - some jerk making the decisions has password protected the bios so this can't be changed, which should be illegal. This is like selling you a house and locking you out of YOUR utility room. If you paid for something it is yours to change or even screw up (on purpose if you want to) as you please. There are plenty of reasons a Verus owner with computer savvy would want to get in the bios and change something to suit his needs and boot order as I just described is just one of them. It's an owner's right and I don't freakin' care if it voids the warranty or not.
One idea I have I would like to try the feasibility of:
IF the unit can boot from the micro sd card, one might could image the operating system partition onto it, say 17.4 and put it in a safe place. When 18.2 comes along and has glitches or missing pids or tests - maybe one could place the card in the slot, boot up 17.4 and get back to work. Maybe one could do this for the first time since the brick and its removable cartridges.
If this works, this would allow one to get back to work until Snap On could resolve the problem, even if one had to wait for the next update. It IS possible to image the hard drive without removing it from the unit.
