There is a huge difference in the speed. With a USB connection its 480mb/s, though with eSATA its 1000mb/s! Is there some kind of adaptor that can make my USB external hard drive connect to the eSATA port on my pc?

No but even were this possible it would still be limited to the usb speed.
Any operation a compuer does is limited to the slowest component of the operation

sure purely purchase an exterior caddy - placed the force in it and easily plug right into a USB port. make helpful you learn the drives interface as there are 2 varieties of caddies - SATA and IDE, as its 6 years previous probable gonna be IDE, yet ultimate to learn

yes, if that ex hard drive is a SATA drive, if so crack open the case (bye bye warranty) and attach a sata cable from the hard drive to the esata port on the back of the computer.
the dirve might still need power from an outlet
