    It doesn't need to be very big. If you need to buy one, just get something small and cheap. I have a 32GB in my Roku4, and that's just because I had one laying around. It's only using 2.1% of it according to the settings/about screen.

    For reference, current Roku's, other than the basic Express and Soundbar, have 8GB of channel storage (what the SD card expands.)

HI theMezz,

Thanks for the post.

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 the storage of personal media such as photos, videos, or music.

For best results, we recommend a Class 2 or greater micro SD card with a minimum of 2GB storage. You can order a micro SD card from Roku. For full information on this, you can take a look at this link: How to increase player memory with a micro SD card | Official Roku Support

Hope you'll find this info useful. Let us know in case you've still got any questions.


Warm Regards,
Lianna

    So 2GB is the minimum size - good to know, but what is the maximum size we can use?

        I have a 128GB spare but some devices do not recognize it as it is too big.

        I also have 8GB spare and was wondering if that was even worth using on a Roku box. 

        Looks like 64GB might be the sweet spot unless someone things 8GB is worth using.
