Perhaps I am tired and therefore misunderstanding...

I just recently bought a seagate TB SATA drive and Roswell enclosure
that has SATA internal and USB/eSATA as external interface.  USB
worked with no difficulty and so did the eSATA when I plugged the
bracked into an existing SATA port on my mobo.  I also had good luck
with Addonics being recognized, until the enclosure itself started
failing, that is.
