It seems to be a Quantum Atlas drive. IIRC, I have several of them
running fine (I am not 100% sure, I am on holidays at the moment :-)).
You might want to check the firmware of that drive. I have upgraded
the FW on my Quantum Atlas I and II drives a (long) time ago. You
might want to look at ftp://ftp.quantum.com for FW upgrades. When
I am back on wednesday, I can give you more info about the FW stuff.
In case you want to download a new one, I have written a small tool for
FreeBSD to upgrade the FW on several SCSI devices (the Quantum Atlas
and Viking are supported).
