Hey, I started my homeserver adventure with a raspberry pi and external HDD's via USB, which is the same principle of the adapter you're showing. It worked fine for many years.
It should be possible with a SATA to USB converter, if it's USB 3 (see blue part inside USB connector) it's even better. The one on your picture has multiple HDD connectors while you''ll probably only need the SATA one, be sure to check your old HDD connector. Maybe you can find cheaper or find an old external USB hard drive and take it apart and reuse the convertor.
The speeds will probably be more affected by the limits of the HDD, an SSD would be faster I mean. So consider using that storage for files that don't need a fast transfer rate.
