My experiences are varied (and no specific experience with the Transcend 
unit). I had an external SATA USB enclosure, worked fine with 6.2 on an 
nForce4 board (regular consumer crud) but didn't work at all with 6.2 on an 
nForce4 (I think) based Sun server.

So there's more than just the USB enclosure to worry about, that's my point 
here.
