>From the WD website it looks like this drive includes a supplementary AC adapter & power cable. Does not look like the unit is designed to run off of the USB power source, so I'm not sure how much additional power would be required of the 5501.

Consumer disks are not meant to run that long _every_ day. The power supply of the net5501 must be able to deliver a lot of power - I guess- with an external drive ?! Have a look at the power that a net5501 can deliver.
