Which SATA to USB cable do I get?

I had a Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8TB External HDD that stopped working, so I tore open the casing to free the raw hard drive. I now want to buy a SATA cable to connect the hard drive to USB – but I want to be absolutely sure I buy the right cable.
The hard drive says SATA, AF. From my understanding, AF means Advance Format which just means it can hold lots of data. It’s not clear to me though if that means it needs a very specific SATA to USB cable
Would this cable still do?
