Any Firewire drive and I'm pretty sure with your Mac, any USB drive is  
bootable. (albeit slowly)

They will not specify this on the box, because they're all completely  
Windows-centric in their documentation, and you have to reformat the  
drive using Disk Utility to be HFS+ before it's bootable, but all the  
external drives that Staples or Best Buy can boot any modern mac.
