No but buying a Western Digital EHD may have been. WD EHD's tend to be pretty problematic with Macs, I'd recommend returning it and getting just about any other brand. WD's internal HD's are fine but the enclosures they make tend create a lot of problems, they're cheap which is why most people buy them.

Also you should consider running Software Update to get to 10.6.6.
