need a compatible external backup for SBS 2003 server
I need to replace an external backup driver for Small Business Server 2003 running on an HP Proliant DL380g5.
Drive should be 2TB or larger, and needs to be compatible with SBS 2003 backup. There is a list of compatible drives on Technet, but it is somewhat dated and none of the models listed are the size I am looking for. I called Western Digital and they were not able to provide a definitive answer. I was looking at either WD MyBook or Elements.
What is your suggestion?

I would prefer to stay with the USB external HDD's at this point, just want to make sure that there will be no issues with the new model of those drives.
