Have never cloned a drive, with windows, this is just not a good idea if your install is over a year old in my experience. My only concern (here is my "other" side showing since I don't know about Mac's) - I "assume" OS X uses a MBR to boot any drive? If so merely copying files from one drive to another would not make it bootable, and do not know if cloning would take care of this or not.
If you can boot from a drive, with the proper software, you should be able to clone it to any other drive it can see. USB 2.0 - Apple officially supports booting from this drive with all Intel based models (there is unofficial support for some PowerPC models and OWC will not support PowerPC boot)
But as long as your internal HD isnt 100 full, a 30gb external should work fine. You can choose what to copy over, but I dont think theres an option to make it smaller.
