I boosted the 2 gig drive from my 233MHz Wallstreet [Powerbook G3 Series 1998] in exchange for a 30 GB Toshiba [$120 via a Deal-Mac article too]. After trying a couple of enclosures I found another deal from Deal-Mac for the PowerBoy USB/Firewire enclosure for 2.5" drives. It has the benefit of running on either bus or external power supply and the combination of USB and Firewire has enabled me to use the drive anywhere, often saving other people's bacon.
I sold the Wallstreet in March, and bought a PowerBook G4 DVI and switched the 30 GB out of the WStreet and into the enclosure. Changing the drive is very easy. It has worked wonderfully. If I plug it in to the external adapter, I can even boot from it.
