The Pi 2, 3 & 3+ can power ab SSD (the best option), or a 2.5" SATA
drive which can be powered from a single USB port. Anything larger which
requires a USB Y adaptor needs a powered hub.

You either need a USB external drive, a USB drive caddy to put a bear
drive in to, or just an USB to SATA converter plugged directly in to an SSD.
