Not sure if this is the most up to date version:

People get around this by:
A) Using a Molex to SATA adapter when attached directly to a power supply, since Molex 4-pin doesn't have 3.3V to begin with.
B) Using it in enclosure that controls the power-disable pin correctly (or rather, doesn't have 3.3V and that pin just floats).
C) Using it in a server chassis that controls, or doesn't support, the power-disable pin. My servers have backplanes that are powered from 4-pin Molex connectors, and have no separate 3.3V regulator, so they could never send 3.3V if they wanted to. Just 12V and 5V on different pins.
<edit> Answering my own question, from what I can tell these enclosures have WD140EDGZ drives in them, and they can be shucked and used without the enclosure.

I have a seasonic platinum 750w I think and I need to use the tape but my old server case with the backplane didn't.
I also only use these for my UnRaid server shucked. If you don't want to do the tape you can get adapters so I wouldn't worry about it.
