I believe the formal name for the drive you are referring to is LS120 and currently there are no drivers for it available in FreeBSD, I thought about writing one but am still trying to decide whether there is enough interest within FreeBSD community for those drives. Emails like this certainly make the decision easier. I'll probably end up buying one soon and writing the driver. But as I said if you bought one now you would not be able to use it in FreeBSD. All three of them ship with Windows drivers.
