Well yeah, but he is trying to remove the proprietary issue where the case will only work with its brand of hdd so he can use a different brand hdd in it. So the hardware encryption would be irrelevant.
So I am saying that IF HE STUFFS IT UP he can get a good dual (or larger) hdd dock cheap. I would say he is better with a hdd dock and if he has stuff on his drive just move it first.
One would also think anyone attempting this would back up the drive first.
With all these proprietary issues I will never buy a hhd in an external case again unless the drive is cheaper that way, like a Duo 16tb and then I would buy a third party dock and sell or ditch the original case.
