Hi all, just wanted to know if the new black apple tv would be hackable? or 
patchable to connect a USB Hard Drive through its miniUSB port?

Note it has a micro-USB port ("for service and support"), not a mini-USB port, 
see for example:

You can buy adaptors on eBay...

it's actually a micro-UBS B port, that means it's a USB device, not a USB host 
like the previous AppleTV.
