2.5 mounted on the desktop via USB, I booted from a leopard volume on
it..all looked ok. Then I connected the 3.5 (which works perfectly in
several other macs/ and enclosures) and it would not even mount. The
drive would spin up.... light comes on, that's it. I looked at
reviews of this particular icydock enclosure and other people had
power issues as well... strange... don't think I'll be buying another
one of these.
I am open to "other" good quality enclosures..

As for the one I'm having troubles with:
http://www.icydock.com/product/mb664us-1s.html
It has esata.. and funny that you'd ask, yes it worked great via esata
connection. And lastly, no, it's not under warranty. Jeff
