I'm looking for a small external hdd at least 20gb... but it needs to be self powered and not bus powered.

Is there such contraption??

I have a weird project i'm doing now... the host usb device only runs on a couple AAA batteries so i really doubt it'd be enough to run one of those hdd's

Oh I misunderstood. I read your post as you wanting something that didn't have a power cord. Duh..

Anyway, you can get a 3.5" external enclosure and put in a regular desktop hard drive. I've used this Bytecc one before and it's nice.

Yes it does. You can look at the pics to see it comes with a power cable. Are you looking for one that runs off batteries or something..?
