   I don't know what you have to work w/. I consider an 8TB hdd to have   
   value if it is working, so it would be worth 'messing w/'.   
      
   The other approach, besides having a 'good' external USB housing w/ a   
   decent power supply, would be if you are trying to hook it up to a   
   desktop computer in a case w/ a PS and hdd mobo connectors.   
      
   Could you give us a description of whatever is that USB enclosure   
   features and what kind of computer (laptop/desktop) you are trying to   
   access the hdd w/?
