You put a 2.5" drive in the enclosure. Is that too difficult for you?

The "it" is an adapter, then, not a storage device.

"HighPoint has labeled the data connection so you don't take it for a Firewire port. We were, however, puzzled (to put it mildly) by
the lack of a second Firewire port, which you need to serially connect devices. "

Hmm, do they (Tom's) even have a clue what SATA is?
