Maybe my Google-Search-fu is failing me but I wasn't able to locate any threads on this. All searches returned stuff for the Wii U, despite me putting quotes around 'Switch'.

So what are people using to hook up hard drives to their Switch? With the Wii U, we all used those 'Y' cables so the drive would turn on/off with the Wii U. For the Switch, are folks using externally powered drives? I'm OK with buying some cheap SSD and using THAT with a USB 'Y' cable to keep power draw low or with the Switch, you HAVE to use externally powered drives?
