Except it’s not always the case. I had a few WD Elements/Easystores that I had data on, shucked them, and couldn’t read them in Windows. It wasn’t encrypted, just something funky done with the partitioning and couldn’t use it until I destroyed existing and created new partitions.

But it can’t hurt to try it first, you should be able to throw it back in the enclosure to get access to the data, although good idea to have a backup anyhow.
