I can't say for certain but I don't think many USB docks supply 3.3V, so it's unlikely to be a problem. I'd be more concerned about whether an adapter of that age will support this drive. I've seen some SATA-USB bridges that don't play well with these big drives.
I'm only half joking when I say, if you don't know the answers to these questions, you shouldn't be fooling with RAID and if you do know the answers, you'll know better than to mess with it. My more serious answer is, RAID isn't something that should be undertaken lightly. There can be serious drawbacks that are not always obvious. You should do some serious research before messing with it.
The E6L1.
This has been answered multiple times already.
WUH721414ALE6L1 - Self-Encrypting Drive and does NOT have the Power Disable feature (thus more likely to be compatible).
WUH721414ALE604 - Base model (no encryption) and DOES have the Power Disable feature.

I would like to preface I do have redundancy (so if I loose a drive no data is lost), and anything important is backed up to an online repository. I wouldn't use these as single drives in a computer without proper steps like many have said.
My guess is that they only reset the data that is the easiest to access. So, you may be able to figure out more information if you dig deeper.
Obviously, I don't know whether it still work for this particular hdd. If you want to test it out, you can Google how to use smartmontools to test your hdd. Then you can see whether they show you those hidden information.
Edit: This was a post I made long time ago: https://slickdeals.net/e/9142463-4tb-hgst-megascale-dc-4000-b-hms5c4040ale640-coolspin-internal-hard-drive-110-newegg?p=900901
You can see from the pic that the hdd actually had 25k hours but then reset to 28 hours
