Is doing heavy editing and rendering with a WD My Book II a bad idea?

I need to get a 6tb drive to do post production on my documentary on FCP7. This will entail a lot of editing and rendering. I normally use G-tech. That said, the Western Digital 6tb drives are around 200 bucks cheaper. I'm thinking of this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=757710&is=REG&Q=&A=details


Is using this a bad idea? Will I be much happier if I just pony up the extra money or can I use this one and save the dough?

It should be fine. Make it RAID 1, and use either eSATA (ideal) or FW800 (not great, but doable).
