In general, I suggest a LaCie d2/d3 (non-Porsche) or Little Big Disk, Maxtor OneTouch III (FireWire), WiebeTech or OWC drive. I don't know what chipset the WD drive uses -- if it's not a true Oxford-based drive I wouldn't suggest it.

Once you get a drive in house, make sure you partition it (with Disk Utility) as "GUID" or "Apple Partition Map", not "Master Boot Record", which is Windows partitioning and won't allow boot.

Hope that helps!
