I've got a couple of Smartdisk Firelite drives and they successfully boot both my old G3 Powerbook and my new MacBook. I probably did initialise/partition each of them before use with the appropriate partition scheme though.
There doesn't seem to be any issue with the drive being powered from the Mac. Dave, in my limited experience there isn't too much correlation between the capacity of a drive and its power consumption - I've got a 20 G 2.5in drive which is labelled 0.7 A and a 160 G which says it only takes 0.45 A, for example. I don't know about drives over 160 G though...
