Also look at CalDigit Firewire VR. REMOVEABLE drives in a firewire case. Makes archiving a bit easier:

Which one from caldigit would you recommend for shooting a feature in 1080/24p? I was looking at the s2vr but im not sure if thats big enough? Never shot hd before.

one of my colleagues has just trialed half a dozen external HD's to use with P2,
an he can not stop raving about the 500gb Western Digital MyBook

I would recommend the AMS External Raid Enclosure.
Especially for security and archiving purposes.
