There are different SATA cables. Just the typical SATA and then there is SATA1 cables.

will need a second SATA cable (and power connector). Unlike IDE, each SATA
drive needs a separate data cable. As far as I know, there are no
differences in SATA cables, other than the physical shape of the connector -
and that is not a compatibility issue, just a preference of design.

I bought a retail MOBO that came with 1 SATA cable for my hard drive which
is indeed SATA. This is the Hard drive I bought

My question is if that one SATA cable that came with my MOBO is sufficient
enough for hooking it up (Besides the power supply)
