I just checked and in "Normal" mode it does indeed work with one HDD. Please note that unless Mapower has changed things, the enclosure does not ship in this mode by default even though it's' called "Normal" mode, (ships in span mode) so you will need to consult the manual and set the jumpers accordingly. Also note that in Normal mode each disk is detected individually, but if your SATA controller does not provide a Port Multiplier you will only be able to see the first drive. It will still work with both drives in USB 2.0, but only the first drive will be visible via the eSATA connection.
Here's some info on port multipliers.

This limitation only applies to the normal mode because as far as the SATA controller is concerned it's only one disk while in the other modes.
Hope that helps.
