I bought a Western Digital MyBook. I had to format it to NTFS.

I am quite pleased with it. I'm finding it almost as fast as copying/moving a file on the internal hd (to itself).

Intitially, the drive did seem slow - took ages to format. Once formatted and up and running in NTFS it has been a nippy number.
