Hi
I was thinking of getting the tablets for my kids. They have kindle fire at the moment, but they kept using up all of the storage, so my thought was if I get them the Onn gen2 and use it with some of large capacity microsd sitting around. Does anyone know if Adoptive storage work with the ONN tablets? Adoptive storage works with Android 6 or later, but manufacturers often turn it off to avoid issues.

Anyway to copy existing downloaded roms that are on adoptive storage, and save them on removable storage or a pc?
Also, can you confirm my understanding of the storage situation. If I have an adoptive storage device with roms and games on it, it CANNOT be removed and installed on to another nvidia shield tv console and used as adoptive storage because it is reformatted during the process and will lose all the data, correct? However, can that adoptive storage device be removed and used as removable storage on a new nvidia console, without losing any roms or games?
Finally, if I have a new 16gb console, and a 128gb flash drive, and plan on playing roms on my console, which I have not downloaded yet. Should I download them first on the pc to a flash drive and then use that as removable storage on the nvidia shield tv? Will removable storage affect performance at all of the console? It won't run any applications from the removable storage, correct? It will only copy it and install it onto the adoptive storage device?

I have a 16gb shield tv , just yesterday I set up the roms & emulators. I used the retroarch app, I installed the following cores (emulators) : sega, snes, nes, n64. As for the storage I'm using a 64gb usb drive, I set it up as removable. I downloaded probably 200 plus roms yesterday, mainly nes :96. Retroarch cores run the games great, some of the cores are better than the other so you just need to choose which works best. Retroarch is fairly simple and straight forward on how to use it and load roms. Downloaded the roms to the usb and I have no issues with them.
I'm curious on how well the shield tv can run Wii , game cube games and psp. I doubt I'll use it but it could be nice to have. My main gaming device is the ps4 pro currently but I hardly use it. Thought about building a htpc but the shield tv was only $120 with game pad and remote.
Apologises if this is covered elsewhere but I couldn't find exactly the info.
My Shield 2017 16GB has less the 2GB of free space left so looking at adding additional storage. I know that I can add to internal and/or external. I know that internal will allow apps and movies to be saved locally but sometimes I'm away on business or leisure in a hotel and if saved as internal then I can't plug the USB3.0 HDD into the hotel TV or my laptop to watch a movie that I've downloaded.
Would I be better using an additional HDD as external storage allowing me to plug it into other devices to watch stuff or could I use Plex? Then I can leave the HDD at home at watch it remotely, this won't work though if the hotel TV hasn't got Plex on it?
I understand a USB3.0 flash drive doesn't like being used as a permanant external storage and often fail.
Just some advice, pro's and con's which way to go would be appreciated.
Thanks
I had shared hdd (nas or hdd) mounted to shield, Plex was happily using that as a storage. Plex database was on internal storage. I tried to connect hdd directly to shield, it was working fine as well.
If you leave your shield at home, then you are depending on hotel tv or you can buy cheap streaming box (like mi box). Shield is powerful enough to transcode on the fly. Only is pitty to leave powerful device at home. For example if you want to play games.
Btw, I have mi box as well and it was good streaming box before upgrade.

Id get an addition SSD...use one for extra internal storage, and use one for external that you take with you..Best of both worlds.
Hey guys,
I know this topic has been discussed to death here. But the only methods I found were either complicated or odd. I was wondering how I could expand internal storage which is currently 500gb on my Pro to like 4tb. Replacing internal HDD requires tons of Dev work which I know nothing about and connecting a USB external storage to use as internal is kinda weird as there is risk of it getting unplugged and device crashing... Are those the only ways to do it or is there an updated way that I didn't see ?
Well you could add an sd card to it. The pro version has a reader.
The only other way is aside from the ones you mention is setting up a NAS but that would be an external connection....
SD Card is much slower. Plus I need 4tb and am sure that a card of that size doesn't exist yet. As for why, well I got 2.5tb of game ROMs for various emulators that I want to move over... So yeah... Adding external is my only option for now... I guess...
I'm getting a 500gb SSD to replace (adapt) my 16gb internal storage. It's my understanding that the Shield encrypts the drive and so it can't be accessed otherwise. Meaning you pretty much just leave it hooked to the Shield all of the time. But what about trim and leveling?
Also I presume since it's USB-3 that performance isn't an issue and even a cheap ssd will work fine. Planning on using Adata su-800 but does it matter to have dram for example?
And for the second external drive I use just for media, does anyone know how much power the usb outlets put out? Am thinking about getting a 2.5" 5tb (mechanical & almost entirely for videos) and wondering if the usb power is enough to handle these type of drives. I think these drives require the better part of one amp to operate properly. Also can this second drive be removed safely without shutting down the Shield?
As-long as the second drive is not adopted it should be fine and dandy, just ensure that you eject it from the storage menu. I'll let someone else who knows more about adopted storage and USB power chime in for the rest

Hi,
As you can see the title said about SD card
SD Card Detail - Samsung Evo Plus - 256GB - U3
Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021)
Undetected Tablet Storage
Detected Portable Storage - after I formatted it - It doesn't show list of setting thing SD card
Have anyone have got an issue with this? Was the SD card have got an issue? Or was it tablet?
Kind regards,
young7dragon
Have you tried formatting it to the fires preferred format? Or is that impossible as it's not a very popular one at all.
I've just got my hd fire and I just want to side load apps and I think I'll use the tool but not sure if I should update first or leave it. Not sure what will happen.
Is it really as easy as plug in, run the app and select what you want and then it does it? In 2022? I have a 2021 one but I'm sure they update them all the time like fire tv

Yes, I've had issues with the Sansung micro SD card (128 gb EVO) on Fire tablets and this happened again yesterday when I received a new tablet 10 in HD 2021 tablet from Amazon. The SD card was formatted with exFat but the tablet refused to recognize it. I tried formatting it FAT32 and it reconized it but connecting the tablet to my PC I couldn't see it. I then put a Sandisk 128 gb already formatted exFat with many files on it and the tablet recognized and showed the contents. IMO, Amazon Fires don't like Samsung SD cards although they work fine in Windows laptops. No idea why but I can't be bothered to investigate further when I have a solution. Hope this helps, Mike
