I read somewhere that the connectors on an external hard drive enclosure lead has two connectors on one end, so that they can be plugged into two ports to get more power to the hard drive enclosure. That was about the only thing I did that was "out of the ordinary". So if that changed something? I have no idea. But it was merely something tried. There was no difference in the performance of the 2.5 hard drive enclosure, which always worked fine at any rate. Anyway the system is now running fine.
