OBB data on SD card
I'm using 32GB sd card on 16GB Nvidia Shield..
There is option to move apps and games to sd card.. The OBB data won't support only the application apk are moved actually to sd card... I know this issue is seen from kitkat when Google blocked app to use to sd card.. But in lollipop it was reverted.. So now is it application developer that they are not using sd card or its the OS limitation?
Because games OBB data take all the inbuilt storage... Any solutions for this?
Was this fixed in the 1.2 firmware? They specifically state something about the apps moving to sdcard.
tested this the other day after the update. I installed a 2.6gb game and moved it to a 64gb micro sd. It moved the entire game. i have 2.6gb on the sd card and no storage missing from my system. Nvidia is killing it with this system!!!

Yes they are, I am not used to such support.
After the update I noticed all of games on sdcard did not show up for about 5 minutes. I wonder if it moved everything over for me or if I have to remove and reinstall each game?

everything worked fine for me...you should not have to do that
Would this work with an external hard drive as well?

Nope it's only an option for the Micro SD slot. You cannot put apps on any USB device

Well I guess if I get this I will have to go with the 500 gb version.

500gb version has a hybrid drive with a small flash storage combined with the HDD. It's a good option I just thing the 16gb version with an SD card is more flexible and may perform better in the long run

Looking at the pictures on the nVidia slides, do you know if it's possible to open up the casing and install a 2.5" drive yourself ? I might have an old 2.5" drive somewhere. Looks like a drive bay with a regular SATA connector, like the PS3 or PS4.

I believe I read the non-Pro version does not have the connector available. There IS a spot for a surface mount connection, but that would take some semi-experienced soldering.
I'm interested to know what the people who went for the HD model are storing on there? I stream all my media so a 64gb Micro sd would probably be more than sufficient for apps and android games. If the markup to the HD model was $50 it would be a no brainier, but $100 is a bit steep. I'm guessing we might see a price drop in upcoming months. The device is definitely to my "to get" list, im UK based so will import via amazon

I don't know if the Shield tablet is the same but even though I use Foldermount to move game data to external SD, I ended up maxing out my internal storage since it still keeps some of the app internally along with my other apps. If the move to sd option on the shield TV does the same, then eventually you will run out of internal memory. But from what I'm reading here, it moves everything, so you might be ok. The problem with my shield tablet is since I'm out of internal memory I cannot update any of my games and large apps unless I make more room.. So I decided to go with the 500gb with the shield TV so I don't run into any issues later. I'm also going to download movies so I need more room.
I believe it does more the whole app now buddy. I do understand the need for local storage if you'r storing films and other media on there. Its just for my use case I have a NAS device plugged into my wireless router and just stream everything from there. Getting a NAS was the best purchase I ever made and I would recommend it to anyone. I think it was like $100 and them I just dropped a 4tb drive in there. Instant network share and streaming for all the devices in the home.
I got the 500gb. After owning the Shield Portable and then the Shield Tablet. I did not want to got through the lack of storage again. I did not like moving apps to the sd card since it is much slower storage. Also I used my refund from the Beats Pill XL recall so it was an easy choice of which Shield version to get.
I for one don't like the idea of the OS running off the hd of the 500gb model so I bought me a high performing micro sd. This one has read/write speeds up to 90mb/s.
I have yet to test its performance off of the Shield console but I've read these cards perform around the max speeds on the Shield tablet.

I bought the lexar 128gb rated at 95mb/s for my note 4, and using A1 Sd benchmark I only get 46mb read / 17mb write. I will side load that app to my console and see how the card does compared to the 500gb drive.

You have to be careful when looking at these micro SD cards and their write speeds. A lot of them just say "up to 90MB/s", but never specify if that is read or write speeds until you dig through the tech details. I also came across the Lexar first, but noticed that the write speeds were very low, which actually seems to be the norm for most 128GB cards at the moment.
The only two I would recommend is the above Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB, or the Samsung 64GB Pro. I actually just bought the Samsung tonight as a used Amazon warehouse deal for $36, still facotry sealed.
Only card I recommend anyone buy these days are the Samsung Evo cards. I have had zero issues with them. Plenty fast. I record 4K straight to the card all of the time without any glitches.
I'm actually running an older sandisk extreme 64gb in my shield right now because I had it living around. Had problems in my LG g3 with it but it is working flawless in my shield... Go figure.
I'm also running all of my video and emulated roms off of a 64gb usb 2.0 stick from sandisk. Works great

Hey guys, i'm looking to get the shield tv, I want to spend the less possible. The 16Gb version is on sale for 20$CAD less, so 179.99$CAD. And I found some 128Gb micro SD cards for less than 50$CAD. For a total of around 275$CAD I could get the 16Gb + 128Gb sdcard. The 500Gb is 440$CAD at checkout. Now the real question is, should i got for the 16Gb with external memory mounted as internal memory (how does it work for you? Do you recommend it?) or go for the 500Gb? I want to use it to run my plex server on it and all my movies, musics, etc.. would be on my external hdd. And a lot of gaming.
What would you recommend me to do?
I wish I went for the 16gb option...
Edit: since I hate it takes 2 hours to wipe if going with a custom OS and/or unlocking the bootloader.
I do have to say having 500gb was a good idea before marshmallow 6.0 and adoptable storage arrived. Now the 500gb is more optional.

It all depends what you want to use the extra storage for.
For a few games, I think you don't need the Pro. But if you want to keep your video library on the Shield...
Personally I would choose again: 16GB Shield + 64GB microSD + external HDD (for media).
But a 16GB Shield for 125€? I wouldn't hesitate!
PS: Bought the Shield on Black Friday for 175€ (remote included), the 64GB SanDisk Ultra (class 10) for 15€ on a later offer and the HDD (Seagate Expansion 2TB) one Black Friday earlier for about 75€. I don't know the situation in Canada, but in Germany the difference is of 100€ between the two versions (200€ vs 300€)

How does the storage work with a sd card? Can you put the full version of a game on it(obb, data, ...)? I'm thinking of doing the same for my media, but for game I plan to play a lot of my already bought play store games (GTA, Modern combat, Talos, ans other big games..) but I juste want to be sure i can have games on the sd card.
Cannot really say. My games are rather few and small. I don't even think I go to really use that SD card. Maybe the official Nvidia forums are better source of information about this.
You have to format the SD card as "Internal Storage" .. AKA Adoptable Storage.
Once this is complete you will have the option to install / move apps (or games) over in their entirety.
I have to point out though that I have tried a Class10 SD card and found performance to be noticeably slower.. Enough to the point that I decided not to use it... So.. It will work but performance may or may not become an issue for you.

This is your best bet if you want speed for your adoptable storage. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extr...nements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin:6518305011
I remember GS 7 can't edit photos you saved in micro sd card because of silly android permission issue, has this been resolved in GS 8?
Anyone know about this yet?
I am annoyed they are not providing a bigger sized internal memory phone TBH and I edit all my mobile photos directly on my S6 at present.
No real need for addtional memory card if they made bigger phone size.
64Gb is small ?

64GB doesn't go as far as it once did.
I've had 64GB internal memory since 2014 with my Moto XT1225 and I'm to the point I can only make one TWRP backup at at time nowadays. I used to keep two or three while evaluating different ROMs. This phone has no microSD card slot.
My next phone will either have 128GB internal memory and/or microSD card.
But even 3 years ago, 32GB was just too small.

Well don't forget the S8 has a sd card slot too...
Things like music, pr0n, etc can go on that
Move music, video and all other larger files to the SD card. You can also integrate the SD card as part of the internal memory. I don't do this, but you could. I just have all my music, pics and larger files on my SD card. Always have. I went from the 64gb Note 7 to the 32gb S7E and I still have about 10 gb left on the internal on the S7E. I was using about 50 gb on my Note 7 internal but I wasn't fully utilizing the SD card because the N7 had a larger internal memory. Also don't forget to move over larger apps to SD card. I also do this to save space on the internal. 64gb is enough since we can use SD storage. I got two free 256 gb micro SD cards with my Note 7's, so I have the room. Even filling up the card with movies (use the Movie HD app, google it) I still have at least 50gb free on my SD card. That's with over 100 gb used of pics, music and misc files on my SD card already.
can we get back to the topic?
If we save camera to micro sd card, is it editable? is the permission issue gone

I have a S7 G930F. My camera photos are saved into the SD card. I can edit them (crop, rotate, decorate etc).

I haven't picked my S8+ from UPS yet, but I believe this issue is app dependent.
If the app you are using has the code written in, it will ask you to give it permission to write to the SD card when you start it up.
It has been this way for a while now, including the S7.
So, for example, I use Quick Pics for my gallery and it asks for the permission when I start it for the first time and access the SD card.
I bought a 128 GB Samsung EVO microSDXC Memory Card U3, Grade 3, Class 10, from Amazon and was wondering if it is a good idea to use it as internal adoptable storage. Will it affect performance so bad? I just have one week with my Mi A1 and it is working great, 64 GB is plenty for what I need for now, but I guess it will be great not to worry about data space for apps, movies or photos. So, what do you think?
+1 question
I have the 32gb A1 and use a Samsun 64gb SD as internal storage for a total of 96gb (around 90 usable) and it works a treat. I have around 30gb of apps already so the SD is being used a little and I couldn't tell which apps use it at all. They all feel equally quick.
No issues to report, highly recommend
Just loaded my 32GB model with an extra 8GB SD card, but I just realised, is there any actual point ? The NAND storage is 32GB which I'm never going to fill because I won't be synchronising photos and stuff.
Google Maps won't use it. Waze won't either. iGo and CoPilot are dying a death anyway. What's the point? Any actual valid uses?
Music and movies. Thats what I use it for.

My unit has an SD Card slot for Music as well.
So basically there's no legitimate use for the GPS slot. Ok.

I have music and movies on my 128gb micro... I have enough music, I never have to use data, and don't have to listen to the sucky radio.

So you can't program them for internal or external storage like some sites teach?
