    What is the largest port-powered hard drive? e.g., an external hard drive that does NOT require an extra power adapter... powered solely via USB or Firewire.

    I've been able to find 120 gigs. Anyone know of a hd that has more space?

    120gb is the largest, since any HD's 3.5" and larger can not function by USB alone.

    The largest 2.5" is 120gb, thus, 120gb is the largest as you stated.
