USB 3.0 slot from USB 2.0 slot

[yashwanth3030]

I am using lenovo Ideapad Z570. I need USB 3.0 port to assist it . But all the ports are USB 2.0 and lenovo Z570 doesnt even have the express card slot . Now how can I get the USB 3.0 compatible slot..??

You can't - you're stuck with what you have.

im affraid you cant do it without a pci e or expansion slot. What do you need it for?

I had same issue as I have same model. If you want to connect external hdd with higher speed then use eSATA port. In order to use it u need to buy "eSATAp" (power over eSATA) cable and another end with SATA or need to attach converter adaptor( eSATAp to SATA).

Note:- There is difference in eSATA and eSATAp cable. eSATAp cable has Data+power combination.
