Hi Scorp,
I know what you're referring to, don't worryIn my case, all the power supplies on my desk as different. It's actually irritating, but it prevents problems just like this.
This particular enclosure is a client's, and he only has the one. The sad thing is, I just got it, put a new 250GB HDD in, and backed up his laptop to it - before sending it in for repairs. He got a new laptop back, with an empty HDD, and we started copying his data back to the laptop, all went smootly. And about 10% down the line, I smelt the HDD. Luckely the 250GB HDD was fairly new, so I got another one and swapped the PC boards out, and used a different enclosure to copy the client's data back.
To make sure it's the enclosure and not the drive, I tested it with a 80GB from a different manufacturer & supplier - also burnt out
