Hello all,

Well, here's the results:

I got a Toshiba HDDR120E02X, 120 GB USB 2.0 portable external drive.
USB-powered, so no extra
cordage (yeaaah!)

Works great.  No "power-saving" mode, recognized easily by my BIOS
(too easily - it got selected as boot device
over the internal HD).

Overall rating: 5d20
