I got a Western Digital MyBook as well, the 1TB Pro II version with USB2 and Firewire-800/400, running in mirror mode which makes it 500GB. I use the drive on a mac, works great, if you get one just make sure you update the firmware, especially if you have an Intel Mac.
Otherwise, you could also build one yourself, get a Vantec Nextar enclosure, for example, stick a Seagate 320GB drive in there and you're set, much cheapter than pre-made solution, although I don't know how reliability compares. I got the WD drive only because I needed the RAID features it offered. On the other hand I know a working pro-photographer who uses only the Vantec Nextar enclosures, has 4, none has failed in the last two years...
Cheers,
