If you get that drive, and it is SCA, you will need an 80 to 68 pin adapter. You will also need an appropriate cable - don't go cheap here. You will also need an external active terminator. Usually the cable will come with an appropriate terminator, but make sure.

I recommend round cables rather than flat; cooling inside the box is less affected by the round cables. This drive will get hot when it runs, especially if you keep it busy. You would do well to make sure it has cooling air directed right at it. It will last pretty much forever if you carry the heat away from it.
