The problem might not be with the hard drive. USB enclosures have a mixed reliabilty record, in my experience. Do you have another enclosure you can use to test the drive, or a SATA-to-USB cable? (A SATA-to-USB adapter cable comes in really handy in this sort of situation: https://www.pchcables.com/usb30tycto2s.html) -- Paul
