USB HD attach to R6900v2
I believe I read (likely in the user manual) that there's a USB port to which I can connect an external HD.
What wasn't clear was maximum size for the HD. Also, I was surprised to see the drive formatting included Linux ext2 / ext3 / ext4 (I think).
I guess I could go with a 5Tb drive, formatted prior to the router to ext4. That would satisfy my plan.
Sound OK? Thx.

The Forum contains numerous posts describing "issues" with accessing drives connected to Nighthawk router USB ports.
It might be prudent to experiment with an existing USB storage device, such as a simple USB "stick" before investing in a 5 TB drive. (about $150 on Amazon)
Most of us have a drawer full of USB drives.
