It will almost certainly work great -- the problem is mounting
hardware! Apple's decision to use custom-manufactured plastic parts
for most of its models means that you often need special brackets just
to mount normal hard disks. To mount a disk which requires external
access, you'll also need custom faceplates which are cut to fit both
your Mac and the Syjet.

What a mess! APS carries some of the custom mounting hardware and
might sell it to you separately. Faceplates for an internal Jaz would
probably work OK with the Syjet, but it would be a gamble.
