Pi doesn't have a SATA controller built in. You could use a SATA to USB adapter with this drive and it would work though.

I sometimes have trouble getting a low powered device like the pi to power a 3.5 hdd over usb. You’ll need the power source coming from the wall directly to the HDD most likely.
