Attaching a USB HD to use with Kodi

[elessadil 0]

I want to attach a USB HD to my ATV 1800E so I can watch my movies on Kodi. I am wondering if I should get a powered USB hub or can I attach the HD directly to the ATV1800?

I've run everything from 8 gig USB sticks to a 1 tb toshiba that I got from bestbuy for $60 on my 380. Haven't tried it on an 1800 yet but I can't see it being a problem.

I usually let it run through smb to see my server (in my basement though).
