Largest Bus-Powered FireWire enclosure

Any ideas about where to start to maximize storage with an external
FireWire drive that is bus-powered?

Naturally, this is for a PowerBook--looks like the largest ones I've
found are for 2.5in laptop drives, which top out at 100GB.

Anyone have pointers towards larger bus-powered solutions?

Thanks,
brad

bus powered drives are generally 2.5" and they max out at 100 gig right
now.

wiebetech has a bus powered 3.5" dock. some 3.5" drives might require
extra power to start spinning, and they provide a small battery for
that.

personally, i would not run a 3.5" drive off bus power, but ymmv.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
