HDD on tablet?

Good evening.

Can I safely connect the WD Elements HDD to a Tab A7 using an OTG adapter via the USB C port?

The drive works fine and is recognized. I'm just concerned about the USB-C power supply, as a 2.5" USB hard drive can sometimes draw more than 1A during spin-up.

Should I get a USB hub with an external power supply or will this work in the long run?

Thank you for the answers.

I also have several HDDs (2.5″) in use for backup purposes, and they run completely smoothly on different notebooks as well as on PC.
