I think Lacie do a pocket drive which is pretty much what you are after, capacity somewhere in the 80gig range. Most USB drives are pretty much the same, there are only a few hard drive manufacturers which others then re-package into whatever format. There are other portable drives of similar type from other manufacturers I would think there is little to choose between them. Regards.

I want one that is powered from the USB port rather than having a power supply you need to plug in as it's for use with a laptop. USB2 preferred obviously, and capacity dependant on prices. Models and where to buy would be excellent.
