Yes it is! .just make sure that you updated the latest firmware. The device come with the instructions and the usb flash drive to do it.

So far I've had no trouble and bought it after the firmware was to have been installed. I'm not familiar what the firmware improved but it works fine.

I don't know about questions 2 & 3, but as for question 1, no, the usb port is just for decoration apparently. I could not get a usb network attached drive to work, so called customer support. They said that this function does not work despite the claims that it is marketed with and even the description in the manual and on the box. They would not even say when or if there will be a firmware fix. Would suggest another brand.

Yes, but it won't charge at that 3.0 USB pace. Because it's fed by 2.0 from the back of the unit, and can't be upgraded. Sorry. When I find one that does, this one's going bye bye.

NOT with the current factory firmware (V2 121017). You could "system tools, firmware upgrade" it with third-party "open source" router firmware to do so (enabling USB storage), but changing to non-TP-Link firmware "voids" TP-Link's express-written warranty. TP-Link not honoring their warranty in the U.S. (non-TP-Link third-party firmware or not) violates the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975, Public Law 93-637, Title 15 United States Code paragraphs 2301 et. al.

Once you see the firmware version is 3xxx, you can upgrade to the version on the website since you know it's compatible. All you are really doing is making sure you don't have a model with version 1xxx firmware, which would not be compatible.

Hello and thank you for your question. The USB Solution is a separate purchase.

Hi Minilith, firmware upgrade for this Sony BDPSX910 is being done using a disc (CD) only, Using a flash drive on a USB port will not work. -Ely

alot of the problems i read were related to firmware upgrade. Do you get a recent rev?? or do you have to do the upgrade when you bring it home?

The company who sold this device should have included the drivers for said device. It will not allow me to update either. Amazon should contact the seller and have them make available at no charge the updating firmware.

Beside the USB connector its pretty much the same. I never saw the new version but it looks like it's shape may be different.

I have not tried updating the firmware recently and can't remember if I had after purchasing the drive and installing it.

At the present time the X5 does not support OTG storage through the USB port, but it has been promised in a future firmware update. So I'd take that with a grain of salt and not expect to see it. If it does materialize then cool but don't buy one with the expectation that it's coming.
