No the old Seagate drive mounted fine in the CUSA box on my other machines (I tested that out), it just wouldn't boot on the MBP. I don't know how much juice the Seagate required, but it's only a .5w difference between comparable 5400 and 7200 Hitatchi drives. In fact Hitachi markets a 7200 external USB 2.0.
