I can report that my wrt1900acs on Kong 28575m is working great with both USB ports. One has a portable hard drive the other a usb flash drive. Samba and ftp work fine
Yes, I would agree working fine however much slower than stock firmware.
Just wanted to report, as one of the benefits of this unit was the crazy fast USB3 NAS support. On stock it was 100MBs write speeds, on 28788 is is around ~50MBs write. Also on WRT1900ACS.
Thanks for all who work to get the most out of these units.

I second this for DD-WRT v3.0-r28788 std (01/13/16). USB and Samba work like a charm. I have an eSATA drive connected to the USB/eSATA port but it writes much slower than it did with the stock f/w. I have no metrics to show but I can feel the difference. Hopefully a future update adresses this?

Hi, I have asked for information on this and Kongs feedback was that on stock it ships with a proprietary driver for NTFS. Whereas DD uses the open source ntfs-3g driver and this is a userspace driver which is slower and CPU intensive, if you want higher NAS speeds your best bet is to go ext4. _________________ Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r31924 std (05/02/17)

Some details would be useful..., how exactly did you determine you were getting those speeds? That seems a bit optimistic if you talking about sustained throughput. _________________ WRT1900ACv1.r31791.2017.03.30

LOL, nessun problema, il tuo inglese è molto meglio del mio italiano.
First off, thanks for taking the time...
Q. What build ver of dd-wrt firmware are you using?
Q. What is your workstation's O/S & version?
Q. What USB HDD Manufacturer and model number?
Q. Have you modified smb.conf in any way?
Would you please telnet in and run "hdparm -tT" on that drive and post the results?
example:
root@dd-wrt#> hdparm -tT /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
