i have a HDD (with windows on it) if i put that drive into the case, and hook it up to my new pc. can i access my files without formatting anything?

If the drive wasn't encrypted then it should work. If you don't see the drive, try going into disk manager and assigning a drive letter. If the drive was encrypted with Windows Bitlocker, then you'll need the recovery key (looks like a long string of random letters and numbers). See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026181/windows-10-find-my-bitlocker-recovery-key for advice on finding this. If the drive was encrypted with TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt, you'll need the encryption password. If it was encrypted and you don't have the recovery key/password, then you might as well format the drive. After all, this is the exact use case those products were made to thwart!

Could I use this on an xbox one?

Yes, I'm using this with a 2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHD with no issues.

Will this work with old style 4-pin poweer connector (vs current mini connector)?

This product does not have a 4-pin Molex connector for IDE drives. It has a 15-pin SATA power connection + 7-pin SATA data connection. I think the fourth product photo gives a good view of the connectors.

What usb chipset does this enclosure use (asmedia, jmicron, etc.)?

The one I recently purchased has a VL711-04 chipset from VIA Labs.
