no, the adapter you linked to is not a sata adapter
your first clue is that it has two sata m.2 connectors on the board (sata only supports one)
second the 3rd vender picture shows a "SAS" type interface for the gold fingers, note the small raised area in the center that has small gold pins a sata interface will not have this
third the vender description states SFF-8639, this is also called a "U2" interface and it's a connector design for interfacing a connection to a either a MultiLink SAS drive or a PCIe drive
you want a SATA PCI-E adapter card like this one which can use ONE of the cards two different sata card form factor slots
in other words this card can supports two different styles of sata storage msata and the normal sata 22xx formfactor
only one storage slot at a time can be used
and here's a single m.2 to 2.5in formfactor
