I believe that it is related to power management.

Any USB hard drive should work.... Jerry is currently working on it.
The logic to detect and use the hard drive as available space for core
services is not yet complete. Hopefully tomorrow.

Ideally this will be possible. Due to our limited resource we are
focusing on the know and well understood platforms of XO-1.75, XO-4,
XO-1.5, XO-1. for 0.3. Hopefully for 0.4 RPi will be an option. The
best way to make hardware happen is to send a few (or a few buck) to
volunteers to purchase and develop/test on your hardware of choice :)
