[OM] [OT] External hard drive question

Anyone have experience with external hard drives powered by USB?  My 
recollection is that USB only provides 5 watts total to the bus.  This 
320 GB drive has to be 3-1/2" and, I would assume, must be drawing a 
pretty fair share of the power available.  What happens if other devices 
on the bus want some of that power too?  Is this a potentially 
unreliable drive solution?
