Yes, the pi cannot power this. I have a hard drive with it's own power adapter, the usb is plugged directly on the pi.
Have a powered hub plugged into other and wondered what would happen if I plugged hd into that (still with it's own power). It booted but very weird problems
That y cable has one plug with data and power, other plug with power only. You need cable with data only on one plug, power only on other
