  I assume your western digital drive is IDE.  If so the Turbo IDE
  should work fine with it.   The latest  cards support just about any
  standard IDE drive.  Right now I'm running a western digital 40M
  drive off of a Turbo IDE and it works fine.  If you looking for a
  big speed increase you may not get it though.  Many of the Western
  Digital drives can be interleaved at 3:1 at best.  (This is the case
  with mine).  But, I do get about a 2x improvement over my Vulcan
  controller.
