yes you need a usb to sata adapter or a "docking station" for drives

adapter costs ~20bucks

id just get a hard drive dock - this will ensure the drive is powered correctly via mains if it needs it which many 3.5" drives do

AFAIK 3.5" drives require more power than 2.5" drives and need mains power

A USB adapter doesn't provide enough electricity by itself to power a 3.5" hard drive. You need an external source that outputs the correct amount of power.
