And when you had it plugged into the sata on the motherboard did you have the power adapter plugged into the drive? | |

Can't see properly in the picture but that'll be esata, there would be no reason to have a normal sata port on an external enclosure. | |

USB 2.0 is 480Mbits/second where as dependant of your computer and disk you can get up to 3.0Gbits/second on SATA... | |

Probably need to install SATA drivers for your system or enable SATA in the BIOS. | |
