If you don't want to do that then you can try to remove the drive from the enclosure and have a look at how it's constructed. If it has a SATA to USB bridge then you can try connecting it internally on a PC. However, many WD drives have always-on data encryption in the USB-SATA bridge. You can undo this encryption on some models with this tool, or this tool.
