[OM] [OT] External hard drive question

A resend.  I don't think it made it the first time.

Anyone have experience with external hard drives powered by USB?  My
recollection is that USB only provides 5 watts total to the bus.  This
320 GB drive has to be 3-1/2" and, I would assume, must be drawing a
pretty fair share of the power available.  What happens if other devices
on the bus want some of that power too?  Is this a potentially
unreliable drive solution?
