500/750/1TB USB HD will most certainly be 3.5" form factor with external power required... (alas, even w/the new low-power 2.5" HDs, external power is required and/or via powered hub on the NIT)... i really like my Toshiba 320GB USB HD (at US$119 right now from various vendors)...

i'm waiting for the jump to SSD HDs... they'll be fun to watch here under 'Deals & Promos'...
