Do the Western Digital Passport's work OK on the MacBook? Is it possible to encrypt all the data on so that if the drive is stolen the information is rendered irritreivable?

Can't see why the Passport wouldn't work on the Mac.. it runs the same hardware as a PC, FireWire and USB standards etc etc.

Some of these self powered hdd's require 2 usb ports sometimes to supply power.

How secure is the encryption? Can it be broken?
