    Well holy crap, I just purchased my first Firestick 4K Max and didnt realize just how powerful this thing is ! Mind you, I paid $95 for mine but then I am in Canada and you know how that goes and now need to go out and buy some more goodies. Good stuff …. Thanks …. 😊

    Absolutely brilliant easy to do firestick storage update, my son could do this for me within the time you made a couple of coffees,I’m a disabled army war veteran,and having the easy access to stored recorded movies is far better,than chasing all over the internet to find something I like. Well done mate,great job. 👍……jimmy

    FANTASTIC....I saw the 3 separate videos but I must say this is a great idea to have all three videos together. I am going to buy the Mission Power cable because I have been having problems with the Firestick and I didn't know what was causing this (on Amazon UK they have a third-party Power Cable but I plumped for the one you recommended as I have seen some negative reviews of the third party one). I really do think this cable will do the job that I want. Do you not think that the Firestick should have more storage than what it has? Great Video....keep on doing what you are doing.

    Do only certain apps transfer to the external drive? or can you store all your apps on the external drive so your firestick has only a couple apps on it? I currently am only able to save 3 or 4 apps to my external drive and everything else goes to my firestick. Am I doing something wrong? Great video and channel you have.

    I purchased the equipment you listed in your video, which are the fire stick 4K max, the 0TG adapter, and the mission USB power cable. When the fire stick 4K MAX formats the 2 TB storage, for the device storage, the new app are still being download to the fire stick 4K internal storage, and not the device storage that the fire stick TV 4K is formatting. Is there anything that can be done?

Basic stuff. If you got the wrong drive, you may have to format it FAT32 separately, or replace is with the Seagate Slim One Touch

    I brought everything you recommended. I had trouble with hard drive being recognized. But i formatted it and then the fire stick recognized it. I then reformatted the hard drive with the fire stick. All seemed to work ok. But when i turned it on again the fire tv stick would not boot. I found out tha gwhen i took out the hard drive the fire tv stick would boot up. But when i put in the hard drive the fire tv stick would just die and i would get a blank screen. If i unhooked the hard drive it would boot up again. Looks like power adapter that plugs in usb on tv has not enough power to support hard drive. I tried a usb thumb drive and had the same results. Do you think i have a bad usb power boost device? I even tried swapping otg cable.

      It’s the lowest power draw 2TB and has worked perfect for us. I’ve tried over a dozen drives and none worked. Either this low power draw, the Toshiba one, or go down to a small thumb drive (64gb or smaller) otherwise it will fail to work
