It probably will work 'fine' -- for very Ditto-Max-types of
'fine' (i.e. not really that well and certainly not with
4000kbits).
It seems that the OnStream DI30 is faster, has more capacity
(ca. 13.9 real[1] GB before compression) and works better ... at
a (most probably) lower price. It has been recommended in that
mailing list quite some times. But do wait before you buy in
case someone corrects me -- I have no first hand experience
with that drive, I just repeat what I read.

[1] real as in 1024 * 1024 * 1024 b, not fake, as in 1000 *
1000 * 1000 b (which would be 15 fake 'GB').
