Which things?

I have one of the white NexStar "toaster" docks here, and everything works when using eSATA to talk to it, including SMART.

Not over USB, though. I have yet to find a USB enclosure/adapter that works with smartctl, though many of the newer ones now *do* support SCSI-ATA-Transport Passthrough for hdparm and the like.

Cheers
