A 3.5" drive can draw 12W idling, and close to 30W for the first 10 seconds. There are 2.5" drives whose power footprint stays under 2.5W while operating, and the 2.5" is the type that can be run from USB bus power. For a 3.5", you'd want an adapter, or AC power conversion inside the enclosure. Not all the 2.5" drives ever made, were winners in the power department. There are some, that can benefit from using a USB cable with two heads on it. It is a matter of how well they stay below the 5V @ 500mA limit, as to whether a single USB cable will do the job well.
