I understand that the security for the WD Portable drives is in the hardware on the drive, which is typically quicker than software options. If someone stole the disk however, opened the drive, removed the disk, and placed it in another drive, would the data then be all unencrypted and visible?

Hello,

No, the WD security is hardware encrypted related to the drive it self.
