I'm thinking of buying an Xbox Series X after my Xbox 360 S broke after about 12 years of gaming and i wanna know if i could use or connect the 360 S HDD with a Series X since it has all my saves on it and i wasn't able to put my saves on the cloud before it broke (preferably not using another/different Xbox 360)
#Is it possible to use an Xbox 360 Slim HDD on the Series X without losing the saves?

Nope, that unfortunately won't work. You'll need to connect that Hard Drive to an actual 360 console to upload the saves from there first.

but what if i use a SATA transfer cable and transfer the saves to pc then transfer the saves to a external HDD that's formatted for the Series X?

You can't copy saves files through USB on Xbox One and Series consoles whatsoever. It automatically uses cloud storage and has no local transfer options anymore.

That's not going to happen. Save files are not stored on HDDs for the Series X or XB1, they're stored on the internal system drive.
Also, when you connect a USB drive to the console it will ask you to format it. When it's formatted for game storage it cannot be used on a PC.
