That's what USB hubs are for.

Also if ur worried abt speed i remember the vantec usb esata version comes with an esata bracket which extends the esata hole from ur mobo to the back of ur case and it should b identical to plugging it in ur mobo

Only problem with that is, it takes one of the SATA ports on the mobo. If they're already full-up, you're no further ahead.

"external SATA". Basically extends a cable from one of your onboard SATA connectors to an external rear-panel connector that looks similar to a USB port. External drives that support eSATA can then be plugged into that, giving you full SATA speeds. The ports are more robust than the flimsy plastic connectors on the mobo and drives, but other than that there's nothing special about it.
