Hi @ranma51,

Welcome to the Sony Online Community!

If the 8TB external storage device has an internal Hard Disk it will require its own dedicated power supply. If it has a Solid State Disk then chances are that it can pull the necessary current from the dedicated USB port on your TV marked with a higher current. 

The question that makes me very curious is the need for 8TB external storage space. 

Cheers,
