This reminds me of the e-SATA port that was also a USB port.
eSATAp. (The p is for power!)
You can add these ports to a PC. With help from the motherboard and power supply, they'll support both USB and eSATA, including mechanical drives that need 12V power.

With the right cable, you can plug bare drives into them, which is convenient for backups, imaging, etc.
TIL that is a thing that exists and works!
