- A power supply for your harddrive (goes in the wall socket or portable power bank).
If this is not possible (some portable drives don't have power connectors) then: - A powered USB hub connected to your tablet/phone, powered by wall socket.
- For complete portability, a powered USB hub wich gets its power from a portable power bank.
