Depending on the size of your laptop drive (and the power of your USB hub) you may require an external power source for the drive, so be sure to get one that has that capability if you have a large laptop drive (I believe it's 80 gig or over that requires external juice)

Its not the drive size but how much current the laptop USB port can deliver.

I have a USB drive which works on my desktop and Compaq Presario. But will only work on my Compaq Armada through a powered USB hub.
