USB
With the USB port enabled on the Apple TV 1, a user can have several devices (USB hubs work great) such as keyboards, mice, hard drives, card readers, IR receivers, bluetooth dongles, wifi dongles, TV tuners, and more.

Hard drive
Apple TV 1 uses a 2.5 inch PATA hard drive that is easily upgradable. It can also be removed completely, having the ATV1 boot directly from a USB drive, in order to make system even more silent and use less heat/energy (results may vary depending on USB drive).
