I did the reversed test. The drive inside the 2.5" enclosure works fine with ide reset. So I took it out and plug it in the SATA slot, and ide reset failed.
This also proved that SATA I and SATA II drives behave the same way in that it failed if we plug it in the SATA slot. (My Seagate GoFlex drive is SATA I, and the drive in the enclosure is SATA II).
