is it possible to convert eSata to USB 3.0

You cannot go from an eSATA connection to USB only the other way around I'm afraid. I verified this a couple of days ago on another question.

You can of course get external disk housings that take both connections if you only want disks.

eSATA however only supports storage, it doesn't support all of the other things that USB can do.

    I have an laptop with several an eSATA slot, the laptop has no USB 3.0 slots. I was wondering if its possible to use the eSATA slot as an USB 3.0 slot with an converter.

    I did some google-ing and found some hubs, but its not clear if they are USB 3.0 to eSata or the other way around.

    Has someone an idea if this possible ?
