How to Use a Micro SD Card
SD Cards are small memory cards that you can read, write, and delete data on. They are
available in three sizes: standard SD, mini SD, and micro SD (or microSD). SHIELD has a slot on
the back of the device for a microSD card. The card can be loaded with music, pictures, and
videos as well as game and app files to free-up space on the SHIELD's internal storage drive.
Make sure to use a microSD card with a Class 10 speed rating or higher. Slower SD cards will
result in lower performance in apps and games.
To access the microSD card on your SHIELD, go to Settings > Device > Storage & reset and scroll
down to SD CARD.

Increase Your Storage
How to Use USB Storage Devices
You can attach external hard drives using the two USB 3.0 ports, which are compatible with all
external hard drives and USB flash drives. Note that unless drives are adopted as internal
storage, they can't be used for app or game storage. Simply plug the USB storage device of
your choice into the port for automatic functionality. No additional formatting or setup is
required. Your SHIELD TV's USB 3.0 interface is compatible with the FAT32, exFAT, and HFS+
file systems. SHIELD TV does not support the NTFS file system.
To access the USB storage drive on your SHIELD TV, go to Settings > Device > Storage & reset
