I don't have one in front of me, but, I believe it is the same form-factor
as an SCA connector.  In fact, it saves the same purpose (sending SCSI,
power, and ID over one connector).

However, the pinout has been rearranged (by some BSDFH[1], no doubt) to
release the maximum amount of magic smoke from your system, your drive,
and anything else on the bus, should you try to connect an SCA device to
it.
