Curious if it's possible or is it encrypted?

Sounds plausible if you've got the cartridge to disassemble.. https://obsoletemedia.org/govault/

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Keep in mind that the controller does use custom encryption and checks the drive ID too . At least it is the case with the SSD versions. If you swap it with a different drive it might not function.
