I'll try 'camcontrol defects', and see if that turns up anything.

I have two enclosures of the same brand, but the older (malfunctioning) one has both USB 2 and firewire connections, while the newer one just has a USB 2 connection. See http://www.conceptronic.nl/site/desktopdefault.aspx?tabinde= x=3D0&tabid=3D200&Cat=3D60&grp=3D6010&ar=3D450&Prod_ID=3D1393&Prod=3DCHD3UL I'll disassemble the malfunctioning drive, put it in an old PC and run smartctl on it. Are there any other tests that might be worthwhile?
