Can I swap out my HDD PCB? (alien.top)

I've got a 2TB WD Elements external hard drive that I shucked. The PCB has a USB connector on it. I'd like to replace the PCB with one that has a SATA connection. Can this be done? Specifically it's a wd20nmvw

Yes but a 2TB HDD isn't very expensive these days, so you'll probably be better off just buying another 2TB hard drive than spending nearly as much for a PCB (if you can even source the right one).
