I just looked in the Target ad today and noticed they have a Western Digital MyBook on sale (i forgot the price or HD size though), and I've heard nothing but good things about MyBooks, and while I don't have one myself, I have other Western Digital hard drives and have yet to have any problems.

Anyways, as far as it making aliases goes, you're fine. That's how the burn folders work. It will burn the actual files when you burn the disc
