I tried, but I ended up returning the enclosures. I had a problem

the newer Prolific chipset.
Don't top post!
What she said! :-D
I had the same problem, btw. I have a USB HD enclosure, I forget what chipset. Any time I transfered large amounts of data, it would lock my entire system. Fun stuff. I switched to firewire. The performance is heaps better, and I haven't had any problems with it (yet).

I've not had any problems save these:
As OP mentioned, my system only seems to run at 1.0 speeds, and this is a bit of a bummer on large transfers (which is what I intended for its primary use --- backups).
Kernel options MSDOSFS_LARGE is experimental and advised to only be r/o. I tend to use 180/200 GB FAT32 drives in these enclosures, and that doesn't work unless you have kernel compiled this way, so I'm stuck needing to use MSDOSFS's that are < 128 GB. If you've had trouble, you might look at your kernel config...?
Lastly, I've got the thing opened in front of me, and D*#$&# if I know what chipset it is.... :-D
