Nope. What you want to do is try to limit drive access. hard to do 
when using read/write intensive audio and graphics applications, so 
it is important to limit background processes. I use firewire that is 
self sufficient as far as power, and when I'm on battery power I 
don't use my normal external monitor or USB keyboard and 
mouse...strictly internal Powerbook things then.

You should ask others about the benefits of using a self-powered 
ecternal drive for audio. I do, and it works great.
