I currenlt have 250GB 2.5 Western Digital disk in case, works with USB 2.0 but requires two cables to connect to provide more power (USB 2.0 only sends about 500mV), works very good under all BSDs, OpenSolaris, Windows, ...
My buddy recently got Seagate 5400.5, which needed only one cord for work, propably it uses little less power, so that may be better sollution.
You should also consider geting case with eSATA if you have eSATA on your motherboard (such cases also have USB 2.0 as a fallback) so you will get great speed where you can while still be able to connect to everything.
