Hi, Mediaguy! Yes, the USB port on the Roku Streambar Pro allows you to connect an external USB drive for playing locally stored photo, audio, and video files. USB drives can be formatted with different file systems. Roku devices support USB drives that are formatted with the FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, and HFS+ file systems. Many new USB drives are pre-formatted with the exFAT file system, which is not supported. To play files from external USB drive start by inserting the USB device into the USB port on your Roku device. If Roku Media Player is not installed, you will be prompted to add it from the Roku Channel Store. If the channel is installed, an on-screen prompt will ask you to launch Roku Media Player. For additional information on using Roku Media Player to play your videos, music and photos take a look at the guide here: https://support.roku.com/article/208754908
