    Anyone know any portable usb hard drives that will work for sure off the power of the Fujitsu S6231, without the need for an AC adapter? I've heard many stories of people buying small usb hard drives, then finding out their laptops don't have the required usb power to run them. Not sure if it makes a difference if the laptop is plugged into AC, but I'm looking for a portable hard drive I can use when the laptop is running on battery power.

    Thanks

    In case anyone has the same question, picked up a Hitachi 160gb drive at Best Buy. Came with a double usb cord, but the drive runs fine off just one usb port, powers up fine.
