OT: but could be useful to other users also

Have external usb 3.0 drive.
Laptop has usb 2.0 ports, and 1 eSata-II port.
In order for me to get decent I/O throughput
with this drive, I need a cable that has usb 3.0 Micro-B male
connector on one and and male eSata connector on the other.
I do not know if this will require a protocol converter or not.
I have searched Ebay for such a cable, to no avail.
If anyone has more info to shed light on this, would be
appreciated.
