I got a Seagate 1TB external 2.5" hdd for €50, usb-powered by the 3B+ Pi
without problem, that's with the RPi official 2.5A adapter. WD is fine,
too, I'm sure (or some will say better). You can set "max_usb_current=1" in
/boot/config.txt to double the available power via usb, but that wasn't
necessary for me.
