I've recently been able to try a 500 GB seagate barricuda 3.5" and low and behold...it works perfectly. So the problem i'm left with is why won't my Maxtor DiamondMax 9's work, and is it fixable. I'll ask this to Seagate and the manufacturer of my enclosre also. One difference I notice is that these Maxtor's have jumpers unlike the newer SATA drives i own. Does anybody know if there's a certain jumper setting I need to set on them to get them to be recognized in the enclosure. Pic http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/1268/p1010044lq.jpg

I did some looking around and i believe it to be this one http://www.sznetwork.net/productn.asp?ArticleID=1160 I'll be asking them for some support, and if they tell me anything interesting i'll post it.

Well i wanted it for a 3.5" Drive and it was stated that it was for a 3.5" and it says on the eclosure 3.5 and it's sized for it.

First i'd like to say thanks for replying and being so friendly and helpful. Most Forums I post on it seems that everyone has a grudge against you for no reason. Anyways... Yes all the drives i'm trying are SATA, I have so far only tried 3 drives which i have available to me. One is a seagate momentus 5400.3 a laptop hard drive, the one that works. The other 2 are Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 120GB hard drives, the ones that don't work. Now the make of the enclosure, and probably my first mistake, It was a cheap chinese made one off ebay. I've contacted the seller in hopes of more information on the make.

I bought a 3.5" sata 1 & 2 hard drive enclosure and it won't recognize some of my hard drives. I thought it was broken at first but than I tried a laptop sata drive and it recognized it and worked fine. But two other sata drives which i actually want to use don't work in it. I hear the drives spin up so they are getting power and both drives work fine directly hooked up to the motherboard. I don't know what's wrong.
