Internet-Box 5 Pro USB port active?

Hello everyone. The Internet-Box 5Pro was recently introduced. My question: Is the USB port activated for connecting an external hard drive, for example? Is there any feedback on this yet?

The USB port on the IB5 is the same as on the IB4, only it can be used to connect a mobile phone for 4G failover or a USB 4G stick

Connecting a hard drive is not possible

Hello @Viesayot10

Unfortunately, no external drive can be connected to the USB socket.

Best regards Doremi

If you just want to connect a disc to the network, the BeeStation might be something for you, it seems to be relatively new:

Link BeeStation vs. LinkStation at Synology

I’ve had an old (flat) TimeCapsule on it for a long time, simply with a larger hard drive installed. It also works if you don’t want 100 functions (as with a real NAS).
