Hi,
I am thinking of buying a "Western Digital Passport 120GB" portable external hd, to combine it with a black MB. [It appears to be a good product; and the colors seem to match.]
I am only worried about that the MB's USB port may fail to provide sufficient electric power for it, as some people have reported.![]()
[An easy solution appears to be to get a booster cable; but obviously it is not a very nice one.]
Has any of you had any experience about it?
Other than that, any other suggestion for a portable external HD?
Thanks, G.![]()

Well, why not save your usb ports and get a FW400 drive?
-
It has no problem running with either USB ports.

It'll be fine. I have used numerous external HDs with my Macbook, never had a power issue before.

I picked up a Seagate FreeAgent 500GB from Office Max for 119.99 - Wonderful Purchase, Great looking HD, works fantastic.

$86 ??? from where!

Any suggestrion for an FW400 portable disc?
-
I have used WD Passport 120GB on Macbook and it works just fine.
Go ahead and get it. -
