Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying the following External HDD simply because it looks nice and tidy and is relatively cheap, however, i was previously looking at buying a different WD HDD only to find the macbook usb port didnt provide enough bus power to run the thing (it needed 1000mA)...i only found this out by reading one of the reviews at the bottom of the page, and so basically i was wondering if anyone knew whether this HDD required the same power supply, becuase i cant seem to find out anywhere.

thanks in advance,
Luke
