There are adapters for Desktop cases to allow use of the 2.5" drive in a 3.5" bay, for example the SSD drives.3.5" drives use 12v and 2.5" use only 5v. Most all of the larger portable 3.5" drives come in cases with their own power supply. There's also empty cases for the 2.5" that use a Y-cable to provide power and data and additional power. There are USB drives that are pocketable that can live with the power provided by 1 USB port. Check the labels on the drives for their power needs, could be 12V DC and 5V DC with varying current needs.

Thanks for your advice/suggestions.Don't make assumptions about power, the 2.5" Notebook drives and the 3.5" Desktop drives use the same SATA connections, just there will be cables with the larger and a socket inside a Notebook for the smaller. Have there been any past indications that larger drives are better in reliability or other factors.
