What do you mean? Like plug the external directly into your epic? If so then I'm gonna take a guess and say no but you never know!

using this with a powered usb hub and CM6 you may be able to connect a flash drive or ext usb hard drive directly to the epic.

This works for CM on the nexus one and iirc the evo 4g
see this for an example on the Nexus One
