Going to be purchasing an Nvidia Shield in the next few weeks because this M8S Android box I've got is load of junk.
From what I can see, there are two options, hard drive capacity of 16Gb and 500Gb which is a considerable difference.
If the primary use will be for streaming, what are the non-obvious benefits for such a increase in internal storage? Surely 16Gb is sufficient if not going to be used for I don't know, presumably having the space to store games on there?
Get a 16G, you dont need a 500 GB storage. I added a SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive for $28 at amazon to by Nvidia just for extra apps and to not overload the space that i have and it works great. Enjoy you Nvidia Shield they are awesome.
Thanks, that's what I was thinking - nice one :)Quote:

Well the good part about the 500gb model is that you don't have to worry about setting up an NAS for live tv if you have a plex pass
The 500 has a better remote that works via Bluetooth , if I am not mistaken, also it has a head phone jack at the top of the remote for head sets for when the wife of kids are asleep :o)Quote:

500GB doesn't have a true SSD it's a hybrid mechanical drive and is slower to boot etc. I have both I love my 16gb. 500GB is overkill.
A waste of money ....the 16 gig is perfectly fine.
