Raspi: B+, 9pi: A+ : ) For USB hard drives you'll need to add max_usb_current=1 to config.txt as the default doesn't supply enough current. I haven't measured its power use but it is supposed to be 0.5 to 1 Watt less.

You mean B+ may be able to use as a Plan9 file server?

It may be more reliable but I would still expect it to be slow. I don't have a usb hard drive so I can't give any experimental results.
