Real-Time Firewire Drives over 100GB

Anyone out there use an external firewire harddrive with RT that is over 100GB?
 
I have a time critical application to get out and I do not want to chance that I might randomly pick one not supported; so, I'd be only too happy to buy one that someone else has successfully used.
 
Thanks

Chris,
I assume you've taken a look at this document.  Any drive that supports 1394 and SBP-2 should work, note that it must be formatted FAT32 and you may need a utility to format a 1394 drive in Windows for a partition larger than 30GB, or if you can remove the IDE drive from the 1394 enclosure you can probably use Windows.

Yes, I did review that, but I am open to any good references.
