Thanks for all the responses! I purchased a Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs included 5V/2.5A power adapter from amazon. Tried it today and it runs my external hard drive very well! I also ran the micro usb from the hub to see if that would also power the board itself and it does. So now I am powering the board and my external with the same hub.
