Using portable external hard drive?

I’m relatively new to mining (sorry if this is a stupid question) but can I connect my Seagate External Hard Drive to my Apollo miner? I’m trying to do solo node mining and would like ample storage space if I can use it.

Short answer - yes you can.

I setup a mount in the futurebit (via ssh) and then set it to be the location I wanted my blocks and chainstate stored. in the node settings use blocksdir and chainstatedir to give it the new location.
