firmtek enclosure incompatible with Mac?

Hi.

I have a firmtek/seritek esata enclosure for my 2x 1 TB harddrives. I am sadly learning that this enclosure is incompatible with my Macintosh. At this point I can invest another $127 in a Spyderhub or I can return this and purchase a single drive enclosure with Firewire ports (in considerably less expensive option). I already have 1 rocstor firewire enclosure. However I've heard through the tech rumour mill that these stand alone enclosures are not as reliable. Any opinions? Thanks.

I'm not sure if I'm having a related problem or not, but I now (after updating to 10.6.6) cannot use the eSATA docking base I use for offloading files to bare HD's. The drive will sometimes be recognized but more often not when I'm attached using the SATA cable. If I use the USB cable (this is a dual interface dock), the drive will be recognized for a couple minutes and then self-eject the drive....weird.

Sorry if this is a threadcr*p but it seems slightly related to what's happening to you.

FCP 7.0.3, PPro CS5.5, MPro Octo 2.8, 16 gigs RAM, Matrox MXO2, Sony EX1

How is it not compatible with your mac?
