From a quick google, I think that's a 2x SCSI external drive. Plugging it to the Parallel port (especially an Amiga parallel port) would be bad. The device or an Amiga CIA chip could be fried if you plug it in that way.
It should work fine on an Amiga with a SCSI card, though. For the A1200 there are numerous accelerator cards that have SCSI on them, and there is also the PCMCIA Squirrel SCSI that would work.
