Does your enclosure come with a usb Y cable like this:

Amazon.com: Apricorn USB Power Adapter Y Cable AUSB-Y USB (Black/Grey): Electronics

One usb port is frequently not enough to power a hard drive which is why many no-power supply enclosures come with a Y cable to allow the device to draw power from two usb ports.
