1. Vantec SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter = the original one that detected 
my encrypted partitions and their Time Machine backups like the first 
time.

2. USB3.0 to SATA&IDE cable Model WLX-891U3 = failed

3. No brand and model I could find on it = failed

2 of the adapters. Vantec adapter had no problems.

Here is what I see when Mac OS X can't detected my encrypted Time 
Machine partitions on the external 2 TB HDD with the 2 non-Vantec 
adapters: http://imgur.com/a/uneDX

Vantec adapter.

I hope the above helps?
