I can't recall if the SOLO has two USB port on the back but if it does than you can connect an external powered HDD and USB stick. I would not rely on the USB port to power the HDD as it might not work.

Thats a docking station rather than a caddy for external USB, I dont know and nothing in description to say it does.

To save you wasting the front socket and to keep things tidy you would need a hub. Buy a powered one and then the devices you plug in won't rely on the receiver to supply their power.
