I guess it is USB 3.0 ?

I don't think thats different on inside part.

thats an USB+eSATA port

USB 2.0 + eSATA combo port

^^ You guys are right.

More explanation for OP: You can use it as USB2.0 port or as a e-sata port to connect any HDD which have e-sata port as a connectivity option.

hey guys im sure...... its not a esata

wat actually happened is tht wen plugged my usb dongle to that and used for nearly 1 hr before it got damaged.

Dongle might be faulty...
BTW it's eSATA cum usb 2.0 port.

Yes, but NO. It is not an eSATA port.

Just a weird looking USB. That's all.

An eSATA + USB port with the eSATA part removed.

This is eSATA + USB. OP's port is only USB, but a weird looking one.
