Can I use external Sata HD via USB to a PATA only MB?

Can I use a Sata HD in an external enclosure with USB2 connection to an old motherboard that doesn't support SATA? I want to back-up my old PATA drives so that I can reformat & repartition now.
I'm thinking about getting the Thermaltake Max4 eSata & USB enclosure. I need it to work with my old 4 year old Dell Dimension now and want it to be useful when I build my first PC, with a Conroe MB (probably a P965 chipset).
