Yes, but the external drive will require power that the iPad likely cannot provide. Unless the external drive has its own power-source, both your iPad and external storage device must be connected to a powered USB Hub.

Your external storage must also be partitioned and formatted correctly. The drive must have a single partition, formatted as FAT32, exFAT or APFS. Other drive formats are not supported. Not all file types will be exposed by your iPad.

I hope you find this to be helpful in getting you on the right path.
