    Hello,

    The USB HDD on your TV delivers 1A output, to power external drives that are more demanding than simple USB flash drives.

    Have a nice day!

      Technically, yes.

      Port 1A can accommodate self-powered external hard drives, while the others cannot.

      That the hard drive is powered via USB and does not require an additional power outlet... or multiple USB ports.
