I've had three or four external drives like that--all work fine without any external power supply.

It's a little odd - it comes with a second USB to concentric DC connector, so one USB cable goes to the USB port on the housing and the power is drawn from a second USB port on the computer. I connected it all up and no go. Now, even with just the power connector, the drive goes 'click click'. I may have killed it.
Hmmm, I wonder if it is trying to draw more power than both USB ports will provide. Try external power and ditch the USB for a FW box.
