what drive do I need to ingest and MB for best quality?

Hi
I made a DCP from an Apple Pro Res HQ 222 file and set the mb /second at 200.
Is that high enough to preserve quality?
Also, I bought a CRU DX 115 drive to send my DCP to a film festival. But my Macbook pro could not read the drive and and so couldn't copy my DCP to the drive.
When I called CRU, they said the drive was formatted for Linnux. They helped me reformat the drive to OS Extended Journaled, with a "Guid Partition Map". I was able to copy the file, but I wonder what the difference between this fancy DX 115 drive is and one of my regular old rugged Lacie external hard drives, which apparently won't ingest into a projector...?
Thanks!
Confused about drives and ingesting...
