Hi Stacey, Ok. I thought your major concern was with the power adapter. There have been a couple of messages with suggested drives. I don't personally know of any others up in the Gb range but I'm sure there are some.
You might want to check Roger Behm's site to see if there are any recent updates to his list of devices that work with the MPower. The url for his site is: http://www.adaptiveinformation.org and just follow the downloads link which connects to his ftp site.
