Love the videos !! I just purchased a Fire TV (Not the Stick) OS 7 / 2GB Ram / CPU : Media Tek T31 Quad Core-1.5 Ghz / GPU: Mali G-52 / RAM: 2GB / Android 9 Pie / 8GB Internal storage / ..There is a USB port in the back of the TV for external storage. I have found very little information on the recommended size but have read a 128GB 3.0 Flash Drive can be used ! QUESTION : Can I install a 1-2TB external hard drive to this USB port in the back of the TV or is this port limited ?? Accordingly, how do I know what size (GB) limitation is on this built-in USB Port cause I just don't know ?? TY and I'm Subbed in with a BELL RING !!

[@FireTVSticks]

As Fire TV devices are formatted to FAT32, the maximum size of USB storage that you can use is 2TB, however, Amazon officially recommends using USB drives that are 128GB or smaller. Amazon also recommends that high speed USB 3.0 drives are used, even though Fire TV Devices have a 2.0 USB port because USB 3.0 drives tend to have faster read/write speeds and will perform better, even when connected to USB 2.0 ports. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

Depending on how you added your storage will affect how you can see your storage in a file explorer. As I do not know what you have done with your storage, here are all the possible answers: If you only attached storage and didn't do anything else to it (like allocate or partition to system storage) then this is a great way to explore your storage - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH6YY5xji82dhrc If you used ADB to partition your storage as PRIVATE, you are no longer able to view the contents. It is inaccessible by any file explorer application. You will need to use the df -h command to see your storage space. Here is a video showing you how - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHqZeJ1mr9yXh9k If you used ADB to partition your storage as MIXED, you will ONLY be able to see the partition of your storage that is not allocated to system storage by using a file explorer app. This is a great way to explore that part of your storage - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH6YY5xji82dhrc If you have Fire OS 7 and storage was added via the Fire TV settings, you will not be able to explore that storage device.

[@suplex2000]

I must be doing something wrong. Here is what I want to do. I have a lot of Digital Video files as MP4's. I wanted to connect a Seagate 2TB External HDD to my FireStick so I could load it up with my videos and watch them off of the FireStick. I know it has to be formatted to FAT32, and I use MX Player to access what's on the USB Hard Drive through my FireStick. When I connect one of my 256gb Thumb Drives, everything works flawlessly, I can disconnect it from my FireStick...bring it to my computer...add or delete video files to it...and every time I bring it back to my FireStick it recognizes it and loads up whatever content I changed it to on my computer. When I try this with the 2TB External Seagate Drive, I open MX Player and I see "No Video's Found". It won't even show up in the properties of the FireStick as "storage", but my 256gb Thumb drive will. It's believed that the FireStick CAN handle a 2TB External USB Drive (it's USB 3.1 by the way), but I just can't get it to work. Should I be able to use it the same way that I can my 256gb Thumb Drive, but just with much more storage? It doesn't have it's own power supply, it's USB powered only. Could it be that it's too large for the power that USB provides it? I don't know of how to add a power supply to it, if that would work.

[@FireTVSticks]

Are the files on the 2TB drive larger than 4GB? FAT32 file system does not support files larger than this. If this is an issue for you, you could bypass using an external drive altogether by sharing the files on your computer over your local network. Share the folder/drive on your internal network. So long as your computer and Firestick are connected to the same home network, you can use a media player such as VLC, MX Player or Kodi to access the files on the shared folder on your computer.

Hi, The only issue as I see it is - FAT32 has a 4GB max file limit so recording from the FireStick using third party apps wouldn’t be very good in FAT32 - anyway of making it work with exFAT?

[@FireTVSticks]

Most Firesticks and Fire TV devices only support the FAT32 file system. However, the 3rd generation Fire TV Cube is equipped with a full-sized USB port that allows for the use of USB drives formatted as NTFS, with a maximum size of 256 TB. This enables support for files larger than 4GB on the 3rd Gen Fire TV Cube. If you're interested in upgrading, please consider using the links I provide to support my channel. tiny.cc/fireusa

[@bugmanmd1576]

USB DRIVE NO WORKY - I bought that exact 2TB drive - Toshiba, through the link in the video description. Formatted it with my PC, using AOMEI partition assistant - to FAT32. Plugged in to my Firestick 4K Max -- NOT recognized by the firestick. Did everything I could, plugging directly into outlet, all connections, etc. The Firestick is only 3 days old. When that drive is plugged into PC - works flawlessly. But into the Firestick - makes a click sound every 5 seconds, and never gets recognized. My theory - that it just does not get enough power through the OTG adapter. Failed experiment - I think I'll have to stay to 256 GB and lower, which I believe Amazon suggests. Unless I want to gamble on a powered OTG USB hub gadget and try again? Should I do that"

[@FireTVSticks]

As Fire TV devices are formatted to FAT32, the maximum size of USB storage you can use is 2TB. However, Amazon officially recommends using USB drives that are 128GB or smaller. Amazon also recommends that high-speed USB 3.0 drives are used, even though Fire TV Devices have a 2.0 USB port. This is because USB 3.0 drives tend to have faster read/write speeds and perform better, even when connected to USB 2.0 ports. A 2TB drive is excellent for storing and sharing files but may not be a perfect solution for everyone.

Hi, Tanya. I am having an issue with the Firestick 4K not being able to run the 2T external hard drive. The Firestick 4K is plugged into the wall, and the external drive is connected via an OTG cable. However, when the external drive is connected, the firestick is stuck in a constant state of rebooting. It simply will not start up. If I detach the external drive, firestick boots up normally. I am currently connected to a 128g thumb drive for extra external space, and that seems to work just fine. I would like to upgrade to the 2T external drive, but apparently I need help. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

[@FireTVSticks]

Yes, as mentioned in the troubleshooting tips 7:33 Troubleshooting it sounds like a power issue. Are you using the original power cable and plug that was supplied with your Firestick? If your 2TB hard drive has a port for power, you should connect an external power supply.

[@9Anup]

Having a firestick 4K and not being able to have any file over 4GB because of Fat32 is kinda pointless. Who is watching 4K movies with less then 4GB? Then you better off with 1080p. And splitting a files etc. i just too much fuss. If it could support NTFS, it would be an ultimate media player.

You can fix this issue by one of 2 ways: 1) Power down and unplug everything and then plug everything back together BEFORE powering on. Once, everything is connected, plug the power in LAST. 2) Unplug everything and DO NOT plug in your external memory. Plug your Firestick back in and power it up WITHOUT the external memory. Then when everything has loaded back up, plug your external memory in. One of these methods should resolve this for you. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

Hi. Once l connected a 32 gb memory stick to my firestick following advice, the firestick starting booting in a loop. Once l disconnect the memory stick, the firestick is working fine. I formatted the memory stick accordingly.

[@FireTVSticks]

This sounds like a power issue. How is your Firestick powered? Are you using the original power cord and plug that came in the box? If not, please use the original power supply. If that's not possible, try replacing your current power cord and/or plug. What size storage are you using? If your storage is too large, it may require additional power.

[@sweetnez2k]

You said “link above” for Os 7 instructions but there isn’t a link anywhere; and X-plore does not recognize the formatted usb. Please help! :(

I followed the steps but it seems to not like side loaded apps. They work some times, most times clicking the app does nothing. Any advice?

[@FireTVSticks]

Adding extra storage in this way should not have any impact on side-loaded apps. It could be an issue with the apps themselves? Can you give me an example of the app you are having an issue with? Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

This is absolutely great! I may get one of these storage firesticks. I have a question for you, I am hooked up to a Samsung TV and I have a firestick connected wirelessly to high speed router. I have a fast router and cable service, but when I want to watch a movie, it periodically gets frozen and a blue circle. if I connect a cable to my from my firestick directly to the router, will the download time for a movie be faster? Thank you.

[@FireTVSticks]

Thanks for the great video. I had been thinking about adding a hard drive to my firestick, but didn't no how to. I've ordered the OTG adapter as soon as I receive it, I'm going to try it out. Is there a way I can record the programs I watch on my firestick? Thanks again and keep up the good work.👍

What’s the minimum amount of extra storage that would cut down on fire stick issues ? I have a 2tb drive is that not over kill ??

[@FireTVSticks]

Adding extra storage will not help cut down on Firestick issues. If anything, you will be more likely to experience issues with extra storage. My best advice is to keep your Firestick as clean as possible by following these tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2bMaKetm5V7m7M

1) can you use this hard drive to store recorded shows sort of like a dvr. 2) does this work on the fire cube

[@sasuke19831]

Yes I have a question I have 1tb nvme ssd can I use it to load apps to the firecube to run more smoother

[@FireTVSticks]

Yes. If it is formatted to FAT32, you can attach it to the USB port on the back on the Fire Cube with an OTG cable or adapter. You will also need a separate power supply to plug into the OTG cable/adapter. The Fire Cube should then recognise the storage and automatically ask if you want to use this SSD as additional storage. The process for adding addition storage to the Fire Cube is shown here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rprPhparfdWeabs

[@mrbuddo]

There is a file size limitation with FAT32. Is there any way to get around this to allow larger file size storage--?

[@FireTVSticks]

Most Firesticks and Fire TV devices only support the FAT32 file system. However, the 3rd generation Fire TV Cube is equipped with a full-sized USB port that allows for the use of USB drives formatted as NTFS, with a maximum size of 256 TB. This enables support for files larger than 4GB on the 3rd Gen Fire TV Cube. If you're interested in upgrading, please consider using the links I provide to support my channel. tiny.cc/fireusa

[@Blove2125]

Hi, I wonder if it will work with the iOS and the original fire stick. I did download the adult version on the fire stick but the videos didn’t play. I don’t know if I did something wrong. Unless I have to upgrade the fire stick

[@FireTVSticks]

This should work, you don't need to upgrade your Firestick. Not sure why the videos didn't play. What's the name of the app and did you see an error? Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

@@FireTVSticks no I didn’t see any error and I have the downloader app the same one you showed on the video

Thanks. Do you know how to move application data from internal storage to external storage?

Yes, you can use an ADB command. Please refer to this guide: firetvsticks.com/add-more-storage-to-firestick-fire-os-6/

[@reachdigitalaus]

Great video. How have you Maged to copy large video files across, bigger the 4gb.

[@FireTVSticks]

Fire TV devices use the FAT32 file system, which has a maximum file size limit of 4 GB. However, the exception is the 3rd Gen Fire TV Cube - amzn.to/3HxZqoK. It has a full-sized USB port and supports USB drives formatted as NTFS (max size 256 TB). This means that files larger than 4GB are supported.

I purchased the Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD - 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache - Frustration Free Packaging (ST2000DM008/ST2000DMZ08) along with the ORICO USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure for 3.5/2.5 Inch SATA Hard Drives/SSD Up to 16 TB, 3.5'' Tool-Free HDD and I'm having issues with my Firestick 4K recognizing it. I formatted the hard drive to Fat32, but it still doesn't recognize it. Can you please tell me the external hard drive that you use? I would like to use 2 TBs.

[@FireTVSticks]

Is it not showing up in X-Plore?

[@nestlewaters97]

@FireTVSticks I can't recall. Before I formatted the hard drive, it wasn't. I will double check when I get home to see if it shows up in the app.

I did not know this is a thing. So you can stream the content down to memory, then watch later? Sounds great!

Yes, you can download to external storage if the application you are downloading from allows it. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️

Great Information 🙏🏻 Thanks

[@RickFerris70]

Does this process work the same for a Fire TV or is there something different that has to be done? Love your channel!!

[@FireTVSticks]

A Fire TV should come with a USB port so it should just be a matter of connecting a storage drive into the USB. Thank you for watching 😊👍❤️
