Reformatting a Drive to be Bootable on Mac OS

I want to buy a 1TB Desk External Hard Drive to store all of my images and video etc. I could buy a LaCie formatted for the mac but they are 1/3 more in price so I 'd prefer to buy any drive and reformat it.

So I phoned the store an they said all drives they sell are PC and they need to be "Reformated" for the mac to make them bootable.

He said I can buy "Any" External HD and reformat it so it can be "Bootable" from the Mac.

So my Questions are:

1) Is this true? Can buy any 1 TB External Drive and reformat it so it can be "Bootable" by the mac OS?

2) How would I reformat the drive for OSX? Is this something Super Duper can do?


Appreciate any help on this.
