    uh, the HDMI port on a PC is for video output only.

    USB is a data port. the 2 have different purposes.

    no.  HDMI is output only on computers for graphics.

    No. A drive (as opposed to a player) cannot be connected via HDMI. A standalone player has to read the exact same data as a drive, so it's physically impossible for it to provide better quality.

    Probably not. HDMI isn't any faster of a connection than USB.
