Hey /g/uys im thinking of building my own cloud server with raspberry pi 2B. Would raspberry pi 2B give enough power to power an external harddrive?

Most likely not, you can always get NAS drives, or an external PSU to power it

wouldn't it be better for him to just simply buy an USB flashdrive?

He could put it into a raid 5 conifg, but they're not meant for constant use, but it would be better, and most likely cheaper to get an SSD

But in the end either get a NAS drive or just do a USB raid

Powered USB hubs are like $5 and do

That would be more expensive

nope, you will need a usb hub that can give at least 1A to each usb port, depending on your external drive.. if your drive has its own power source than no worries, if not, you need to do the math, check how many A your drive needs and find a decent usb hub
