Awesome drive.  Get the scsi version to make sure it is compatible.

The probe doesn't look right, but it works:

sd0 at scbus0 target 5 lun 0
sd0: Direct-Access 
sd0: ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB
sd0 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry

sd0: NOT READY asc:3a,0 Medium not present
sd0: could not get size
0MB (0 512 byte sectors)
sd0: with 0 cyls, 64 heads, and an average 32 sectors/track

This is using the scsi card that came with the drive.
