“Is this the 2017 or 2015 model? What is the difference between the two? Is the 16gb model faster due to flash memory storage vs old school hard drive on Pro? Can i hook up an external hard drive to the 16gb model and function the same as Pro?”

This is the latest model 2017 and it has the same CPU speed as the recent model, however the Pro has 500 GB of internal storage on the ready. The older model I believe only has 16 GB and no flash memory will not make it any faster. The thing I like about the Pro is that I don't have to stick any USB external storage in order to purchase my game library. It runs smooth with no issues. You can hook up any external storage drive to your 16 GB model, but it won't be any faster.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 2017 model. The 2015 model has a SD slot that was problematic,and eliminated in 2017. The 16gb is faster due to the solid state (flash) memory storage vs old school drive. Flash memory ( no moving parts) old school drive (mechanical). The 16gb is designed for external hard drive. Ideally a solid state drive to maintain maximum speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm assuming it's the 2017 model. I do not know the difference between the two. I never had the 2015 model. I do not believe the 16gb version would be faster. Yes you can connect external memory to either model. The pro version is just simpler than trying to connect external drives.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a 2015 model. The 2017 and 2015 model are essentially the same. The Nvidia Shield Pro is the only Shield that has a connection for an internal hard drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
