I noticed with the new firmware upgrade that you can now use EXT storeage, what is this and how do you use it?

You need a powered external USB storage device and/or a powered usb hub.
As far as I know (never tested it) it's working.

You can stick it thru the usb slot,I believe...
Or use an Usb Hub (via Usb port or Ext).

Am I reading that right?
Can you use the USB port on the side (though a Powered Hub) to add USB HDs to the 2x?
I thought that was set up for Client only.

The EXT was the only place the 2x has a Host USB set up...

Tell me if I'm wrong please, it'll make a couple of things a bit easier for me!

Sorry, I still dont understand, how do I connect say a (self powered) memory stick to the EXT port? What exactly is a USB HUB, and could you please link me to one? I reserched it on ebay, but there we're about a million completely different ones, and none of them looked right : p

No worries virusx, at least I know now. (I'll stop looking for my mini USB to mini USB lead now :) )

crimsonknight if you're any good with a soldering iron, you can always make your own break out box, which can have USB on it, have a look here

Well not had anyone else ask me for one so this is a first!
I can tot up what it would cost, see if you're still interested! Have to say the one I have now is still in a "prototype" stage! (not boxed up at all)

As some one above mentions, there will be an "offical" breakout box coming out quite soon.
Have a look it's talked about here

Thanks for the offer ^_^ Well it depends on how long it is until it comes out, if its only a coupld of weeks ill wait, but if its more than a couple of month then I would very much like to buy one from you, how much would it cost roughly, and what does it look like? Thanks a lot ^_^
