Amazon is having a Deal of the Day on PNY USB flash drives and microSD cards that are perfect for use as external storage for the 1st and 2nd-gen Fire TV. For 1st-gen Fire TV owners, today only you can buy PNY USB drives at $8.79 for 32GB, $15.99 for 64GB, and $27.99 for 128GB. For 2nd-gen Fire TV owners, you can buy PNY microSD cards at $9.99 for 32GB, $18.99 for 64GB, and $39.99 for 128GB. Most of these prices are all time lows, so get them while you can.

Hey Elias, will rooting help us bypass the restrictions on the file system so we can format these devices using NTFS?
Yes. Rooted 1st-gen Fire TVs can mount file systems other than FAT32, but it doesn’t work too well with the stock support for external storage. If you’re aim is to just mount a drive to play media, then it’s fine, but if you want to also store apps on the drive you will run into problems.
Just ordered though your site. I will place all of my orders through your site no matter what I buy.
So I bought a 32GB microSD card from Amazon for the Fire TV recently and moved a few apps to it. I also have a 32GB USB flash which when I inserted into a USB hub connected to the sole USB port on the Fire TV … it said that I cannot move apps to the USB drive. So then is the benefit restricted only to the ability to play AV media files off the USB?
Do i need to worry about write speeds on microsd cards for a ftv2? Most msd cards seem to have fast read speeds but not write.
