I am considering buying a Western Digital 2.5" 500gb Caviar GP SATA WD5000CSRTL Internal Hard Drive and an enclosure for it. I was wondering if it can be bus powered.

Many 2.5" external enclosures are USB powered; the drive should work with one of these enclosures.

Maybe I phrased this wrong. I am looking for an aluminum enclosure for this that is bus powered.

Green Powers are 3.5". Yeah that's great. Newegg is a liar.

How about an aluminum enclosure(2.5", SATA) that is bus powered and supports Western Digital 500gb 2.5" SATA Internal WD5000BEVT? I hope this HDD is 2.5"; if it isn't, I will end up suing someone.

Thank you very much; I have been in need of more memory, but I want to be able to carry files with me. This is very helpful. :)
