    what's the point of making enclosures that don't use standard 5-pin mini-B USB connectors?

    I have one of these that I put an old laptop drive in and it works great. The Y cable is in case your USB port doesn't supply enough power with just one port. I tried it on three different PC's and it worked with just one of the cables pluged in on all of them.
