Some companies firmware limit their enclosures which would be the case if it worked with a 400GB drive, but not a 500GB. Note - over 128GB vs. less than 128GB support is an actual hardware limitation.
Others may only be listing what was tested - do they still offer the model? Have they updated the specs to a larger drive size? Or is this a current enclosure?
And finally - a lot of el cheapo cases come with el cheapo power supplies. Larger capacity drives use more power. While may work, if over drawing on the power supply - that leads to power supply failure.
