Ok, thanks for the links and suggestions. I think for the moment, I'll look at either getting a powered external hard drive, or a powered USB hub. I did try plugging in my hard drive over the weekend, and while its light came on, it was making a clicking sound every few seconds, which I assume was from not enough power being available when it was trying to spin. It didn't crash the board at least, so that was nice.
