| Aug 9, 2014 at 14:19 | comment | added | Mowing Bar | @Tyson My external hard drive has a usb 3.0 connection like this link. This should work I think link. | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 14:16 | comment | added | Mowing Bar | @Kangkan I use a samsung mobile phone charger, 700mA at 5V. | |
| Aug 9, 2014 at 10:39 | comment | added | Kangkan | What is the power supply to your Pi? I use a 1200mA supply and it suffices the power need of the USB HDD. | |

| Aug 8, 2014 at 23:55 | comment | added | Milliways | Get a Pi B+. This can supply 600/1200mA. | |
| Aug 8, 2014 at 19:46 | comment | added | j0h | Do not attempt to add more power directly to the board. A solution I use is to have a monitor with an internally powered usb hub. I plug the usb power of the pi into the screen's hub, then the Pi usb to the usb data port on the screen. This way i get 3 powered usb ports, and turning on my screen turns on the Pi. It also means Ive got only one power cable. | |

| Aug 8, 2014 at 14:58 | comment | added | Mowing Bar | I do not want to use a powered usb hub as I don't have one and would prefer a workaround rather than buying a hub. | |
| Aug 8, 2014 at 14:56 | comment | added | dmeehan | You seem to have answered your own question! Why do you not want to use a powered USB hub? | |
