Has anyone tried taking 3.5"HDDs out of USB enclosures to use in a machine? Online it seems to vary from just take it straight out through to having to change jumpers and whatnot

I've done that a few times over the years and the drives didn't even have jumpers. Don't know if I was just lucky or something. Would be curious to know how common drives with jumpers are now days. Feels like something from when I built PCs 20 years ago!

Yes, I don't think it's actually jumpers like they used to be. It's something about joining pins or covering pins on the power supply connector.
