This review:

suggests that the drive you have requires a custom device driver of some kind.

For example, this sentence stands out:  "The Device Management software is
available for both Windows and Mac OS 10.x ."

It is possible that you have the hard drive equivalent of a Winmodem.

It may be a bit late to bring this up, but when I wanted an external fileserver
I bought one of these:

It costs a bit more but it does hardware RAID and a lot of of other things.
It's also mountable as a standard NFS share.  And it even runs Linux as its own
internal operating system.
