Err what I meant was it possible to tell a "powered entirely by the USB port" drive from one that requires an external power source, at a software level. My thinking is that devices that are powered entirely by the USB port are much more likely to be unplugged in much the same way as a stick, whereas actual hard disks would be more likely to have a more permanent connection.
