First, define external. Second, I would guess all you would need to make it an external drive is a cable that terminates in a USB plug while allowing you to connect the other end to the SATA receptor. Of course, I may or may not be wrong, as my specialty is not hardware or electronics engineering.
Also, the plug for SATA and SATA II are the same.
Particularly, how does device discovery and access work?

I also said it would be an enclosure, which is fairly important when avoiding static shock and air born debris, isn't it? And thank you for that, do you know if they'd properly when put together?

I'm no expert but from what you just asked I hope you didn't take the casing off the actual hard drive or it no longer works 100%

Nah, it still has the metal casing it was in when I took it out, complete with the Hitachi sticker telling me all about it. I'm talking about the casing that goes around it and stores it as well as the connections with the USB plug.
