Don't know about Solaris or the on-disk bootloader (I would think they ought to have that eventually if not already), but since it's been awhile since I've seen a new firmware update for the SB2K, I doubt the firmware could handle EFI labels. But "format" is perfectly happy putting either Sun or EFI labels on these drives, so that shouldn't be a problem. SCSI "read capacity" shows 1953525168 (512-byte) sectors, which multiplied out is 1,000,204,886,016 bytes; more than 10^12 (1TB), but less than 2^40 (1TiB).
