Yes, but I never use enclosures with wimpy power supplies (you should
see the one in wcarchive!) so such power sequencing isn't necessary.

Yes, you could argue that people jamming multiple drives into PC
enclosures with wimpy power supplies will suffer, but then I'd never
suggest that people do so, either!  If you're going to start using
lots of drives, get them their own home and their own nice little PS!
