Some Roku players provide access to a micro SD card slot. Adding a micro SD card allows you to expand the amount of internal memory available for installing channels and games from the Roku Channel Store. The micro SD card is not used for storage of personal media such as photos, videos or music. Personal media can be accessed using a USB device.
As you add more channels, you may see a screen suggesting that you add a micro SD card. While not required, adding a micro SD card to your Roku player allows your channels and games to load faster.
Here is how to install a micro SD card.
For best results, we recommend a Class 2 or greater micro SD card with a minimum of 2GB storage.
