I doubt there is much point converting your USB 3.0 to SATA 3 as your older drives and optical cant run anywhere near those speeds anyway.

A USB 3.0 to SATA 1/II docking station (fairly low cost) will enable you to work with two drives per port
Something more expensive eg Lindy USB 3.0 Quad enclosure will get you nearer your request.

Google is your friend..........
