By 5:00pm today I need to order a hard drive that is around 80gb+ for $150-$200
The catch is that it doesn't require a power supply i.e. ac adapter

USB/Firewire powered is a must. And no I can't make anything in that time like some of you have.

Will this do? (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000VYJQU/qid=1112816623/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-7819260-0828138?v=glance&s=electronics)

It says power cord optional, and the person who this is going to linked me directly to this one, so if it doesn't work then it's their fault.

It's going to be used overseas on a laptop that only supports USB 1.1 Can that put out enough power to run it?

LOL I just returned that one to Fry's this morning. Reason being: IT REQUIRED A AC POWER CONNECTION

As stated before, the one i'm looking for can NOT require a power supply. Hence the Smart Disk one i linked above, and that one is actually cheaper on Amazon than on Newegg.
