I've got a 160 GB WD Passport that works fine off of one USB port on my MacBook and iBook G4 1.42. I've also got a 160 GB SimpleTech Pininfarina Design drive with WD Scorpio/Initio chipset. The latter works off of one port on my MacBook but requires the second power port on my iBook. The SimpleTech drive came with a Y cable, but the WD Passport didn't.
