    Spend a few bucks more and get a drive with a wall-wart power supply.
Hard disks draw too much current to draw it from a notebook computer. Check
on CyberGuys:

    They have a bunch of this stuff. Mine has removable plastic drawers so
the hard disk drive can be easily changed.

    All USB 2 devices that are correctly built to the specification are
backwards compatible to USB 1.

    PS: Love your musicals.
