You would need a special PCI interface port which you don't have. Your best bet is to use Firewire 800 drives which are much faster then the USB drive you are using now and you can daisy-chain multiple drives together. I currently use 3 Firewire 800 drives from one port. If you use the original USB port and not USB 2.0 it's extremely slow. I also now use a USB 2.0 card reader and 16GB 60 MB/sec memory cards for very fast data transfer to the computer. There are also 90 MB/sec cards but they are really too expensive.
