The other option you have (if you’re not concerned with warranty) is to remove the drive from the enclosure and plug it into your PC via a SATA to USB dock (or cable to the motherboard), and use a program like DiskInternals to allow you to mount the Linux file system on your PC and transfer the data off of it.
Or, using the same process of removing the drive, you might try “debricking” it:
