Well let's see......

One: the MD-21 doesn't support being connected to two different types of
     disks (1558 vs XT-8760)
Two: The MD-21 may not have the firmware to support such a large disk (rev
     E or later I think)
Three: The documentation for the MD-21 may well be wrong for that disk

Just because the cables fit doesn't mean it works!
