How to set up a USB HARD DRIVE to my Netgear setup(details within).

So, just purchased the RBK53S-100NAS system for my house.  I was under the impression there was a USB drive as to set up a shared hard drive.  From what I can tell there is no USB drive thus I cannot set that up.  Anyone here have a work around or advice on how to accomplish this?  Thank you.

USB drives are not supported on Orbi. User have been asking about this for a long time. NG doesn't seem to want to support it. They removed the USB port on v2 Orbi and with Orbi AX, doesn't even come with a USB port. 

 

Your best bet would be to get into a LAN NAS system. Entry two bay NAS isn't too expensive. Once you go NAS, you'll never go back to USB.
