If you tend to install many apps on your box it will take up quite a lot of space too. Apps like Kodi takes up quite some space.

you don't need apps for streaming? you can stream out from the box? learnt something new today thanks.

I haven't tried Nova and Plex,  the rest are not able to bring out the true color of the HDR file in the tvbox....  But if I play the file in my laptop, it displays brilliant colour..

Tks anyway.

It's hit or miss. Even if you use the Developer Mode hack, not every app can be installed on an add on drive.

Heck, not even all added microsd or usb drive can be detected. It needs to be FAT32 specifically, and even then Chromecast seems to have a hard time detecting some. I've tested various microsd card a few weeks back, and only my 8gb and 16gb card were detected properly. My 32gb one were detected, but failed when trying to format it as an internal storage, and even then it took about 30 minutes before it was even shown in the storage menu

Also as an added bonus, Chromecast will fail to detect your USB Hub if you soft reset it (go to menu->reset) or using the power button. A hard power off is the only option if you are using a USB hub :V

So yeah, the KM2 (or if you don't have Netflix like me, the new KM7 with AV1 decoding) are better in this price range

Yea CCwGTV supported it.
Or all the way up to Nvidia Shield 

Chromecast 4K? Got such device?

You mean Chromecast with Google TV? If this no problem.
