Sounds nice not to have the power cords. I've got 3 Firewire drives
and often get tired of all the power connections. Each drive has a
different power supply and I've got to get them matched up correctly.
A small drive that gets power from the bus would be far nicer for fast
setup and tear down.

Good luck.
