More likely it's the USB host controller on the USB-SATA interface board 
that's the pinch point.  For the direct SATA connection, the drive may 
go into the 512e mode of the advanced format; perhaps the USB-SATA 
interface tells the drive the go into the 4k native mode during 
enclosure powerup?  That would make sense for the symptoms you're seeing.
