s/Environmental/Enclosure/

In my experience, OSes (e.g. Linux and FreeBSD) can have
problems with ses drivers inside the kernel because the
enclosure vendors are so sloppy in following the various
SES standards. There are exceptions but on average the
current implementations destroy what otherwise would have
been a good idea.
