Hi everyone...I have an Invidia Shield Pro (500gb) that is dead (power button does nothing) and a new working 16gb Shield TV and I was wondering if there was any way to combine them to make 1 working Shield with a HDD? thanks for any help on this!
16GB is faster ? why would you like to do that, just take out the HDD connect to it externaly
I'd try to fix the SATV Pro by:
(1). Swap power supplies of SATV Pro and new SATV 16GB.
(2). Check if the HDD of SATV Pro is dead, if it is, try another HDD following the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/nvidia-shield-tv-ssd-t3402580
and this link if at least some partitions on SHDD are recoverable:

If the mother board of SATV Pro is dead, you may be able to use the IO board, SATA cable and SHDD for SATV 16 GB:

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if we can connect multiple external HDD. I read that the shield tv can only recognize one connected at once?
I tried with xplore to connect 2 external HDD and it doesn't show my 2 HDD , only the last one connected. :/
Am i missing something?
Thank you.
As far as I know the Shield should be able to recognize multiple external drives (they are named and tagged uniquely). For curiosity sake; Are you using the 2017 version? Rooted? Are they both attached directly to the Shield or are you using a (powered) USB hub?

Thanks for your answer !
Yes i'm using the 2017 pro version non rooted and both HDD are directly plugged into the shield (no hub) .
Do you use an other file manager to see two external drives connected at the same time? both HDDs work well with Xplore but only when one is connected.

It looks like I have to get back at my previous statement. Turns out that what I thought was general Android-practice is actually a feature of the roms I use (on other devices). On top of that I guess my own current situation is slightly different than yours; while I do have both a thumbdrive and a HDD attached I have adopted the thumbdrive, so it's not counted as an external drive. If I open Xplore I can therefore see both loaded.
Since I feel a bit like an arse I did some digging to see if there is anything you could do to hook up both drives. Turns out there's more people that have run into this here including a very descriptive solution should you have 2 identical HDD's. Otherwise, below a list of possible solutions;
If you are rooted, or willing to do so.
There is an app called "StickMount" by Chainfire which basically allows you to hook up multiple external drives and even symlink them. The catch is; I am not able to test this since myself I'm not willing to root my Shield 2017 just yet.
If you aren't rooted.
There are a few things you could do.
1] The solution I went for myself; buy one big USB 3.0 drive (I went for a 5TB one) and transfer all your stuff.
2] You could choose to adopt one of the drives as internal storage. There are some glaring downsides to this though; you can no longer attach that drive to other devices, it will at first wipe the drive and if its not a fast HDD it is going to lag your Shield down. Also, since your Pro already *is* 500GB and you would basically swap that space for one of your HDDs you'd have to consider whether or not it is worth the effort.
3] A somewhat farfetched solution; should you happen to have a modem that supports hosting a HDD as as NAS, you could use that to hook it up remotely. It's not as fast, but technically it is a solution.
Hello Guys! Today I received my Tablet, when I connect an HDD (WD Elements 1tb) a notification tells me that the HDD isn't compatible.
If I want to use the HDD I need to format it.
Does anyone know a way to use my HDD?
Hey folks
can someone help me?
On my yoga book Android the USB OTG doesn't work right. With keyboards, flash drives and so on it works fine but with HDD (2,5" and 3,5") it doesn't. It registered the drive but then it cancelled and throw it out. It doesn't matter which adapter I use or if with or without ext. Voltage. And the Camera importer doesn't work also. When I put in my Nikon, the camera goes to PC mode but with my yoga doesn't happen anything.
I also tried it with a fresh reseted device
In the Lenovo forum they say that the yoga doesn't support HDD but with Android 6 it was.
Can someone try, if it runs with another yoga book, so I know if it is an issue.
Hello, I wanted to ask if you could randomly display an SSD that has windows 10 installed on it with a usb to hdmi (and operation is not so important)
Give more details about the devices themselves.
Well i have an ssd with windows fully installed and an usb to hdmi converter thats it i wanted to ask if this would work wit an ssd
Good evening XDA Forum, unfortunately disassembling the Shield TV Pro (2015) I broke the connector that connects the HDD 500GB to the NVIDIA plate. There is a way to upload the entire system to external HD connected to USB ???? 'or other solutions to enter recovery mode and also install compatible systems maybe custom. Thank you listening
