We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

You can shuck it anyway, if you mean if you can access the data in the same way without the enclosure, with large/new drives, yes. There are some (older/much TB-smaller) enclosures which have encryption in the enclosure, and the content of the disk is actually encrypted all the time even you don't set a password (so you can flip the encryption on instantly) but here it isn't the case.
