Depending on the chromebook, upgrading to a bigger ssd is pretty inexpensive.

I have a acer c720 with arch installed alongside chromeos on a $50 128GB ssd: http://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD-Super-Cache-Solid-State/d...

All together I spent $150 for a surprisingly performant on the go machine. The battery life is pretty great as well.

You don't need to buy those off-brand SSDs anymore. 250Gb SSDs have crossed below the 100$ mark now.
