If you have an eSatap port, you can connect an eSata device, or a USB
device, because the port is a combination of both. However, that
isn't going to help you connect a USB 3 device to the eSata port. The
adapter you found merely connects a USB device to the USB portion of
the eSatap port. And, if your laptop doesn't have USB 3, then you're
just going to get a USB 2 connection.

Will get back to all after I receive the items and test i/o throughput using
real disk files and kernel data files (/dev/zero).
