Well it was the drive, I plugged it into an external power supply and it
doesn't spin up. The electronics are still recognized so it seems it
motor was failing. I have a second near identical drive that has a live
copy of my previous OS on it, that I was keeping, just in case, that I
don't really need, as it's redundant, that I put into the enclosure to
test it, and it seems to work fine.

Still, seems like you've got two possible points of failure there - the
enclosure or the drive and you won't really know which it is until you
isolate the fault.
