How To Save Files Using A Note 8 And A External Hard Drive

[anewbie2]

I need some information on how to save files music files jpegs mp3 mp4 to an external hard drive using a Note 8 using the org adapter.

I need to know what type of external hard drive to use should it be digital or should it be a regular external hard drive?

Should have an external power source or can it run right off the phone?

The external drive will need to be powered. https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=846960&p=6060137&viewfull=1#post6060137

I think it depends on the hard drive power consumption. I've got an older drive with a micro usb that powers up off my phone or tablet, a newer USB 3 drive doesn't.
