Be careful. It should work, but maybe not for long.

These folks say it fits: http://dataspot.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=3 so

I’d look at the very spotty longevity listed on newegg.com for these drives,
at a  much lower cost, BTW:

And you can get the three-user version of retrospect with far advanced
capabilities for about $80 so the OWC deal is no deal, in my opinion:
