Basically what the title says. I was checking a few sites today and they were all powered through a outlet. I just want to keep it simple with a usb cord so if you guys have one like this or know of one, I'd appreciate it if you could post. Thanks!
Looking for 500GB external USB powered hard drive

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/System_Drives/productdetail.aspx?sku=A2012450 $103 atm w/ free 3-5 day shipping ($5) @ Dell, the problem with these is that some older PCs or even just the usb ports that are being used don't have enough power to operate these. I had trouble with the 320GB version, it would power up it just wouldn't be recognised in XP, and I ended up having to buy an additional PCI USB card just to use it.

Go for the Seagate Free Agent 500GB from Staples. $129 and they throw in a free docking station.
Simple USB connection, but the dock is handy if you have more than 1.
Also give you a few deals when you register, like free songs from e-music and a couple of other offers.
