The biggest complaint regarding the amazon fire tv stick 4k is lack of internal storage.
By default the new fire tv stick or fire tv stick 4k comes with 8gb of internal storage.
Additional ports and storage.
The fire tv stick can support your watching habits up to 1080p.
The fire tv console has a usb port ethernet port and microsd slot amking it easier to store and access content.
For the most part you probably won t have any issues with free space.
But people who stream a lot can accumulate a lot of cache.
The device comes equipped with 8gb of internal storage but only 5gb is available due to the fire os operating system and apps that amazon pre installs.
That s pretty good for a device that technically doesn t officially support 3rd party usb devices.
An amazon fire tv stick comes with limited storage.
Out of that 8gb built in storage only about 5 6gb is available to the users for app installations file.

If you are an amazon fire tv owner and download a lot of games you ll be happy to know that you can now expand the storage space of the set top box.
With the fire tv stick you won t have options for expansion.
It would be great if a future update to the fire tv stick 4k added the fire tv cube s external drive handling prompts but for now the only thing really missing from the fire tv stick 4k is the ability to move apps to external storage.
Unfortunately these two devices only come equipped with 8gb of internal storage.
