Nvidia shield TV storage options

by nextapp

I was wondering if it's possible to swap out the 500b HDD inside the Nvidia shield tv for a larger drive like say 1tb or 4 TB hhd or SSD

Unfortunately, nearly all instructions (including ifixit forums) indicate soldered, non-adaptable interfaces for the 16gb and 500gb models.

Your best bet is to get a stupidly fast flash drive or external SSD. Good news is, under recent firmware, you can use Android's "adoptable storage" solution to use any external space as system-volume space.

Do NOT cheap out on the storage quality. The speed rating will be pivotal to your experience.

In my usage of the Shield TV I've never seen storage speed to be an issue. Just get a microSD card for more app storage and get USB HDDs for media.
