Hello-
I am interested in this external drive enclosure http://farm3.static.flickr.com/230 [...] 0fa6_o.jpg the EX-127 cause it supports SATA
I e-mailed Lian-Li asking why they don't write down Windows Vista OS support they said the enclosure doesn't support Windows Vista I don't get that why wouldn't it support Windows Vista what is preventing it from having Vista support?

The standard reason something isn't supported by Vista at this point is the companies producing whatever product doesn't want to invest the time/effort into 64 bit drivers. Microsoft won't approve 32 bit-only Vista drivers at this point.

it looks like a standard usb drive enclosure(Sata to USB bridge and sata to firewire). Why it would not work in vista is beyond me....After all does vista not have its own UMS driver(USB Mass Storage)
