What does an eSATA do?
I have an eSATA port on my new laptop, what is it useful for? Can I convert it into a USB3 port with some peripherals

A bit of reading will explain all, personally I wouldn't want it converted to anything.

External SATA port. It is great for using an external hard drive with a laptop as it's faster than USB.

depending on the laptop it can be both an ESata AND an USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. Can you post the laptop model? I can look up its spec sheets. (you can too by googling)

I think it's an eSATA only port. My laptop is a Dell 1z XPS

I would recommend a Esata hub to attach to that badboy so you have more Esata plugs to play around with :)

Nothing found with this name. Check underside it, there should be a sticker that tells the model name, otherwise you can post a screenshot of the port.
Having looked at laptops with similar names (and because I know how rare are e-sata ports on laptops), I'm starting to think it could be an HDMI or a DisplayPort.

Cool, thanks.
I hadn't heard of that before, or seen it used.
Gotta wonder how reliable it is, as it is "not approved", so it seems more like a BETA to me right now...
