You are right Kaj, but that was not the problem in this case. The drive is recognised correctly when I plug it directly into the motherboard. As far as I can tell from my afternoon shopping yesterday most of the enclosures on the market — certainly most of the cheaper ones — have defective firmware of this sort, but many retailers aren't up front about it. The only solution is to google the word "capacity" when you are researching which enclosure to buy.
