Check out the 250GB OWC Mercury Elite-AL 800 Pro 7200RPM FireWire 800/400. $219.99 I use an 800gig and it’s been wonderful.

If you have a spare bay, I would add a raw internal drive, like Hitachi or Seagate. Cheaper and more stable than FireWire.

I second the idea of adding internally if possible. If you want that, or to buy your own firewire enclosure bare, and add a drive (I suggest http://www.wiebetech.com ) you can get lot of drive info from: https://www.storagereview.com
