Yes a SATA to USB will be fine, although you can pick up external enclosures from £10.
I personally would save the £10 and for the sake of few HDDs I would just have internal cables out :P or what I have > [SATA data & power bracket]
I would also recommend that you use a SATA HDD Enclosure. You can purchase these from Scan (search):
USB3 2.5" SATA HDD Enclosure
SATA USB-HD3.5SI-1-A IDE/PATA HDD Enclosure For 3.5" HDD from Dynamode
