Use of a HDD without its own power supply directly to the Touch is not recommended. From what I recall the issue was the amount of power it might draw would cause the Touch to not function. That being said when I 1st got mine in 2010 I used a Toshiba Canvio 2.0 drive which does not have a power adapter and it worked fine. The only reason I switched to having a network w the HDD w my music attached to my PC was increased functionality and ease of use. If you remove a drive that is directly attached to the Touch and then reattach it rescans the entire library which is a PIA. There is no reliable list of what model wo its own power adapterworks and which does not because there are too many variables that may be encountered.
