The enclosure is described as SATA I and SATA II compliant, and here it is:

I might try to change a jumper position anyway to see if it helps, but I
have more faith that a direct installment of the disk in the PC might do
the trick.

One might suggest that the Asus P4P800 deluxe has trouble reading 1 Tb
disks, but since the MacBook Pro could not either that possibility can
be ruled out.

No, I alternate between the six ports available. All of them give
consistent USB 2.0 speeds with all the devices I have used, including
several 500 Gb hard drives, one 250 Gb hard drive, several card readers
and my digital cameras EOS 1D III and EOS 40D. But none of them will
function with this new large disk.
