So, what you describe technically is possible.

+1 - I have an external 2.5" drive (actually, it is an enclosure for a 2.5" drive - I put my old Macbook Pro drive into it when I upgraded) - and it came with a real funky cable, which had two USB connectors at one end. It took me a while to realize that I needed to plug both in so the external drive could get enough power from USB.
