"Yes (I can boot from this card). And to be clear, no drivers were installed.
Using a cloned from MBP boot partition on the enclosure with a 1.0TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 7200 RPM. Uninstalled and used the same drive naked, for that test.

Incidentally, my MBP (2.5in) internal drive is 5400RPM and takes roughly twice the time to boot as the cloned eSATA/F1 drive through the eSATA card...

The F1 1TB is a fast drive (and only 3 platters for 1TB as noted in Oliver's tests from Feb 2008, plus it would be defragmented from the cloning), although it's had some compatibility issues when used with the internal SATA of some intel-based iMacs (several reports in the drive database here from 2006 (white) iMacs on this, although Mac Pro and G5 tower owners didn't note problems).
