It can power 2.5 inches usb HDD with no issues. All you have to do is get an official power adaptor and set max_usb_current to true.

Gotta try this.

I havent even set the option and rpi2 started to work with one usb drive when i plugged it in the original adapter.

Maybe rpi2 is better for this. I have the old one.
