I have a 1TB USB drive (2.5-inch), which got its power from my Nexus 7 (using root and StickMount). It successfully played a 1080p 2 hour movie with no problems. I was able to play it scaled to fit the screen, or zoom in for a cropped 1080p image.

I have USB host mode cables that I purchased at different times -- some work and some do not work with StickMount (probably missing the autosense jumper in the cable).
