Why are you worried? You said you've already ordered the card, so simply give it a shot!
But honestly, I don't see any reason why it should not work.

It wouldn't work if it's used with a unit that has a PM chip, such as the Oxfords used in the 2 or 4 disk versions, as Newer Tech does state it's not compatible with Port Multipliers.
For the single disk models, it would work.
