There are so many of them on the market that it's hard (for me) to
recommend one over another.  But do make sure that the Firewire drive
you buy has a built-in fan to keep the unit cool over the long haul.
Also, where you prefer the power supply?  As an external power brick?
Or built into the drive enclosure (in which case you definitely need a
built-in fan)?
