Powered at 200mb via USB cable?markvee said:Thanks for the info on external hard drives everybody.
Can anyone recommend brands that get the power supply through the USB cable (i.e. no separate power cable required)? 200MB minimum.
Actually, my post shoud read 200GB storage (not 200MB).Cobster said:Powered at 200mb via USB cable?
I don't think there is any out there, could be wrong, but doubtful.
You can get several notebook 2.5 external HDs powered through the USB cable but I'm not sure they go up to 200GB. They usually are smaller, more compact and slower (5400RPM instead of 7200RPM) and more expensive.markvee said:Can anyone recommend brands that get the power supply through the USB cable (i.e. no separate power cable required)? 200MB minimum.

There are so many brands out there, although some are slow and some are fast, it's tough to decide.
What's a good manufacturer and model?
Looking for one with a least 200 - 250gb space max.
Then that's just not going to happen, wish there were drives powered by USB at that size.markvee said:Actually, my post shoud read 200GB storage (not 200MB).
I would settle for 100GB.
It already is happening. I just found one through your Tiger Direct link. Thanks Cobster.Cobster said:Then that's just not going to happen, wish there were drives powered by USB at that size.
