Update: I got another enclosure from the same brand (Orico) and this one doesn't do The Thing. I guess it depends on the controller?
The one that does it is an "ASMedia Technology" device.
The one that does not is a JMicron one.
It not only doesn't show the actual drive's info, it's unable to perform or retrieve SMART tests/data.
Could it have to do with UASP?
Either way, it really isn't that big of a deal but dammit, I wanted another cool enclosure.
It took a few tries but I finally got a proper dump from this programmer so I can vouch for it being known good.
Now I have to tinker with the motherboard and the teeny tiny pins it has to try and program the EC.
Whoops! Plugged it in backwards and the programmer got crazy hot. Didn't notice until I got a hot flux whiff.
Let's pray I didn't fry the BIOS.
