Some of the devices that claim "USB" capability i.e. Touch, and in my recent experience Bluesound Node 2, don't specify that the capability is limited to USB sticks, and they apparently don't have the horsepower to operate an HDD attached directly to them. The techies on this site can probably explain why better than I can. So you need a separate computer, maybe the right NAS, or a Pi device to make it work. I have a 2 TB HDD wired directly to a Pi running LMS, and it works fine.
