OK, I'm stumped and am now waiting for someone else to post the
"obvious" explanation which is escaping me.

If the 2.5" drive works with USB, then I would think there is no
problem with USB. In other words, I'd expect the SATA->USB logic to
either work or not work.

But if the 3.5" drive works with eSATA, then I would assume there is
no problem with the power supply provided by the enclosure to the
drive.

So why wouldn't the 3.5" drive *also* work with USB?

Is there a "big" difference between the capacities of the two drives?
(Maybe there USB has a capacity limit?) Was the 3.5" drive partitioned
& formatted? Did you try more than one USB connector or connecting to
another computer? Sorry, I realize that these questions aren't that
helpful, but I've got nothing else. :-(
