Beware however. I had numerous cheap USB3 enclosures-with-disk fail to work with this card/the USB stack in FBSD. I ended up taking the drives out of the enclosures and using them in a docking station. I also have two Toshiba v63700-C 1TB 2.5" sealed external drives which just work with no fuss or muss. The problem seems to be more with the electronics in the enclosures than with the card itself. -- Gary Jennejohn
