By the way, thanks for your time mate.  🤝

By external power, that would be a case with a USB connector and a DC barrel power jack like this one this one. Notice that is a 3.5" case, which will fit 2.5". Another way of supplying power hungry USB devices is to use a x2 male USB splitter like with this case. Note, normally USB power specifications aren't an issue with 2.5" drives. Only 3.5" is where that is a problem.
