Is it possible to connect multiple USB ports together to one port for much faster speeds?

For example, say you have a computer that has 3 usb 1 ports on the front. You want to copy a lot of stuff onto a USB 3 HDD. And USB 1 is just too damn slow. Could it in someway be possible to use a reverse HUB kind of idea adapter to change the 3 usbs ports into a single USB 3 port and into the HDD?

Stupid question, but I'm actually curious.

Lol. No, not really. If you actually have USB 1 you might have better luck transferring data through Ethernet.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be able to boot from it. But usually thats what we do to backup the computers we work on.

Ah ok. That makes a bit more sense. Anyway, if your computers have a free PCI-E lane you could get a USB2 or 3 adapter. Apart from that I don't think there is much you can do.
