USB Powered 2.5" External HDD Case?

[joyntkid]

Do they make an external case that is USB powered like the WD Passport?

I'm upgrading my MBP drive soon, but would like to use the current drive as an external but don't really want to have to plug it in and stuff. I guess i'm just spoiled by my passport drive.

EDIT: found this one

it's kinda ugly, anyone know of a "prettier" one? I'm not that picky, but it would be nice.

All 2.5" external cases (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=2.5+external&x=21&y=36) have the capability to be USB powered.

However, many laptops have a problem powering them when not plugged into the wall.

You can increase your chances of having it work by using a USB Y adaptor (http://www.cispc.com/ssproduct.asp?pf_id=11545828).

Good Luck!
