question

NVIDIA SHIELD TV Streaming Media Player has 16GBNVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro Home Media Server has 1. 500 GB Capacity2. Expandable with micro SD card or USB 3.0 drives3. Also has 2 x USB 3.0 Type-A1 x Micro-USB 2.0These are the only 3 things different from each other. Is the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro Home Media Server really worth $100 more? If so why?
Asked by: Anonymous
Depends on your use case. Plex does not like to store some data to external drives particularly thumbnails and such. I understand some other software needs to put some on the internal drive (vs external plugged in). If you are just going to stream and not use Plex I would recommend you not by the pro. If you want to use Plex you'll have an easier time on the Pro.
