The Plextor internal units are designed to operate inside a pc connected to a normal IDE controller port.

Should you experience any problem with such a setup in an external usb2.0/FW box.
We can advice you to either purchase the PX-708UF (the external version of the PX-708A) or to contact the manufacturer of the external box so they can resolve your problem.

Well I think they would say that, after all they want to sell as many of their units as possible!
Note that they say "Should you experience any problem" and not "You will experience problems".
Any decent external box (and not some generic POS) should overcome any problems.
