Hey my man... Whenever I go into USB drive in removable storage it is saying usb drive is safely ejected...i can't go in to it to format...what do I do
I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for putting this series together. I got the NS for Christmas and I took your series on the install and saved them. Today I finally had time to take it out set it up. And it was a breeze thanks to your series you did back in December. 🙏!
I purchased a Corsair USB 3.1 flash drive ssd for my Nvidia shield ut been having some serious Lag? I read a bunch of people are having this problem using external drives with the Shield have you experienced any lag?
I'm about to get a SSD on Amazon to use for storage on my Shield. I was told you have to set your SSD up on your PC first. Is that true? Or can I just format it in the USB outlet in the back of my Shield, the same way you'd do with a San Disk flash drive..etc
Hi. I plugged my 128gb sandisk usb into the back of my Shield, but its not showing in the Storsge&Reset options. Any idea why this is not working? Thanks.
I bought a Nvidia shield less then a week ago and received a message already that it was running low on storage, So i installed a new Sandisk 3.1 USB thumb drive for external storage, Then i noticed right away a difference in performance so i did a internet speed test and the speed decrease tremendously. The Nvidia shield is running sluggish not sure why.
Hi enjoyed your vid and also suscribed to your chanel. I wanted to know if I buy an external storage do i need to format on the computer also or does the nvidia Shield does it for you? Thanks
Hi Triple M I’ve just bought a new one and want to do what you are showing in this video with a wd 2tb hdd, when I go into settings I can’t find the storage and reset heading, mines just says storage I only bought this 3 days ago. Thanks and much appreciate any help you can give me 👍🏻
Hey I have WD element 1tb external drive connected to my shield . It will not give me a option to format on my shield . It just says misc and available so how do get it to work with my shield cause I had to Tap set nothing happens also. Can you help please
3m I install at different times usb plugs to increase my storage on Nvidia Shields and as far as I get with these drives are " eject " " misc " and " 128 g available ". I have increase storage before on These boxes without any problem but for some reason the 4 usb won't work. TIA for any help here.
triple what is your impression now that you upgraded to this new box... are we looking at night & day difference or its just a little better than fire tv? We really want to know.
I purchased a bigger hard drive , but already set the smaller 1 up as you showed so how do i put everything on the new 1 so i can take the smaller 1 out. i was going to send everything back to the shield but dont have enough room....
I recently purchased a second NShield. How do I transfer/copy my apps from the first NShield to the second NShield. The first one is setup perfectly and I plan to use both NShields but in separate locations. Thanks.
My NVidia comes with 16G and I would like to address the eventual storage issue. I have 2 options I am considering. I have a USB 3.1 with 128G and I have an SSD T7 with 500G. I could use either to expand internal storage but does it make sense to use the SSD exclusively for internal storage. If I understand things correctly, if I select internal storage for either, they become dedicated as internal storage? If I were to become a PLEX user, is there a better solution/setup for using the SSD?
@@anon7950 The preponderance of opinion was that the SSD was the best fit, so I paid a bit more and got the SSD. So far, no complaints. I never tried the USB 3.0 option, so I can't confirm any overheating issues. The USB 2.0 was not compatible with the Nvidia.
@@resabape Thanks! Ironically my SSD just came in the mail today. Was gonna go with the WD Brand, but decided to try the SanDisk 250 GB... Gonna set it up later. Austin, can I set it up(Format..etc) from my Shield, out do it have to be done on the PC first. Also will this be considered seperate Storage, it will this now take over your Nvdia device internal storage, as the Main Storage?
Basically I have an old external hard drive with a lot of video files. I'm planning on getting a new USB 3.0 drive to connect to my nvidia shield. What I'd like to know is, if I transfer all my video files (around 500 gb) to the new drive and then connect that to the shield without making it a 'part' of the internal storage, can I then use my shield as a plex media server and steam all those videos to different devices eg, mobile phone, tablet etc. Thanks in advance.
Great video. So if I add an external 3.0 USB storage to my 500gb pro shield that's 2TB I would be adding to the existing storage and not replacing correct? I just want to to clear on what happens to the built in storage.
💕💕Great Video. Nice and clear. Is there a compatable hub that will run 2 or 3- 1tb drives? I only want to use one USB port? I want them to be portable as well. Can you add a link to a compatable hub please? WD is compatible, what about 1tb Seagates? That's what I have. Also is there a way to open and give access to the portable drives up locally to in house users? I want to store movies and music on these to lessen streaming as I am on an internet cap and a budget. :/ Oh Also, please note, I do not have a pc so that is not in tge equation. . I thought I submitted the same questions but a more lengthy version but cannot find it to edit it. Thank you in advance for all your video help.
Hey Triple M, which mini pc would you choose? nvidia shield or azulle byte3? or other? I have fire boxes right now but looking to upgrade better performance. Thanks, Scott
I loaded the Samsung SSD 850 you suggested to Adaptive storage. My Kodi and wifi have slowed down to almost nothing. My freeflix, , showbox, and titanium build from your video, will not complete loading when I select a movie. The Nividia Shield was working great before adding storage, I could watch a movie on Titanium Build without buffering, while on wifi connection with the Ipvanish VPN. Note: The Nvidia Shield Support website has a list of recommended USB Flash Drives, i.e.; SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive SDCZ73-128G-G46. If I format and remove the Samsung SSD Drive will I have to uninstall and reinstall all of the apps from the video must have streaming apps? If so, should I load the SanDiskUltra Flair USB first, make it adaptive storage, and then reinstall all apps? Please reply. Thanks.
Triple M, I have a the same question. I feel like the Nvidia shield and Minix U9-H would be overkill for me. I don't play games, and only use Setv now for tv. Would you have a recommendation for an android box?
Hey Triple M I just did all the set up for my nvidia shield but I don't see removal storage I added my 128 usb drive but I don't see it as additional storage
Hello, I have problem. I have 16GB + 64GB on pendrive samsung. But samsung is some slow. On samsung are files with saved games progress. I do not want play games again start lowest level difficult. Also I prefer nothing uninstal. Then how change samsung pendrive 64GB and move all files on ADATA 128GB (SSD m.2 usb 3.0 with enclosure external) ?
I tried using a Seagate 1tb 3.0 solid state drive and it wouldn't let me use that as internal storage, I am already using a Scandisk ultra fit 3.0 USB drive but I think I'm going to go and get a Scandisk 256 gb 3.0 usb drive and move my storage over to there when I purchase one and use my Seagate usb drive for my Rom/I SO files for my emulators and I also have music videos and other files that I might keep on there.
So nividia shield not have spdif port so what the best and new usb adapter that support fully dolby atmos and dolby true hd and dolby 5.1 and 7.1 and dts x and dts hd master i want new product
Hi I'm not getting a option to mount it as s drive please help it's a 5tb external harddrive also got a 2tb one they show up in es file explorer but can't access anything
+Chad Rose the usb or hard drive will only work on you shield so the drive will be unusable unless you reformat. Yes, it will install apps on the storage that you've added.

Once I installed an external hard drive to my Shield tv my wireless keyboard doesn't work properly now. Has anyone else run into this issue? Does it make a difference which USB port the hard drive is installed in?
My shield does not have the option removable storage? all it has is transfer files to a computer using USB or Mount network storage thanks for your help

samsung evo 850. it works faster than nvidia shield hard drive. purchase a sata 3 usb 3.0 cable or a case for hard drive. 256 gb is good or more. it runs full tilt and are compatiable. for storage not adapatable. any external hard drive. watch this. my nvidia shield by dave. good guy. youll learn to set it up perfect.

It should work either way. However, if you are if you are adopting storage on the shield, it will format the entire drive
Hey Triple M, what 4TB drive do you recommend for the nvidia shield Looking for quality. Thanks in advance for your help
Hello there..!
The ssd card you used on your shield is $108 dollars why not just buy the the shield with 500 gb? Thanks
They don't manufacture 500gb anymore. But used.ones can be found on Amazon but not cheap

It's a better experience definitely!! Haven't done much gaming yet, but I definitely recommend it
I purchased a bigger hard drive , but already set the smaller 1 up as you showed so how do i put everything on the new 1 so i can take the smaller 1 out. i was going to send everything back to the shield but dont have enough room....
Can you transfer any of those files to your server media library ?

Which did you decide with? For me, plugging the USB directly into my Nvidia caused some overheating. I heard using the SSD is better option.

Mark Welch both storage will be there and can be used.
Is the adapter sold separately or can you just buy the drive?
What does it combine the internal and external drive into one drive
Does it hold more space then 2tb drive that was cheaper then this one
💕💕Great Video. Nice and clear.

After you add a USB drive to your Nvidia shield when you download apps let go right to the USB drive
What do you recommend for a good budget Android box?
what's your budget lol?
Triple M, I have a the same question. I feel like the Nvidia shield and Minix U9-H would be overkill for me. I don't play games, and only use Setv now for tv.
Would you have a recommendation for an android box?
do you know if we can use google drive for storage?
What's the best SD card speed and high capacity for Nvidia Shield Pro?
Will this work with Seagate external hard drive as well
My old external is playing up so I got new seagate external hd ,what do I need to do to format new one as shield not letting me do the format ????
Hey Triple M I just did all the set up for my nvidia shield but I don't see removal storage I added my 128 usb drive but I don't see it as additional storage
Two questions
1. What if i start shield with usb unplugged?
2. Will adoptable feature slow down the shield?
If you start the shield with that adaptable storage unplugged, you’ll get a notification. However it will not affect the current speed of the Shield.
@@Triple_M thanks 😊

I tried using a Seagate 1tb 3.0 solid state drive and it wouldn't let me use that as internal storage, I am already using a Scandisk ultra fit 3.0 USB drive but I think I'm going to go and get a Scandisk 256 gb 3.0 usb drive and move my storage over to there when I purchase one and use my Seagate usb drive for my Rom/I SO files for my emulators and I also have music videos and other files that I might keep on there.

Where is the Ethernet connect on the old t.v. shield.
Hi I'm not getting a option to mount it as s drive please help it's a 5tb external harddrive also got a 2tb one they show up in es file explorer but can't access anything
new subscriber, great helpful vids....does it move core apps to the external and what happens if you have more than 16G and remove the usb?
+Chad Rose the usb or hard drive will only work on you shield so the drive will be unusable unless you reformat. Yes, it will install apps on the storage that you've added.
will that adaptor work on a sandisk ultra 3d ssd 512 gb?
is this technique same for all android boxes?
Not at all
Why do you need to do that i mean why use a hardrive Only för invidia ?
Because the nvidua shield only comes with 16 gigs of storage, it runs out really fast.
When you adapted the extra storage, did you notice it slowed your Nvidia Shield?
Steven LeDuc do you have problems with your kodi when you adopted the external hard drive to your shield.
jeffery frazier yeah, I noticed it slowed Kodi down big time. I used one of those Samsung 128gb mini USB drives.
Note: The Nvidia Shield Support website has a list of recommended USB Flash Drives, i.e.; SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive SDCZ73-128G-G46.
