Hi there, I need to transfer data from my old MacBook Pro2009 to this new Mac air and not sure which external hard drive to purchase for it? and this connecting port is different too so which cable will I need for the hard drive unless it is in included when purchasing? my memory stick is no use with this Mac Air if anyone has any advice on that. An old mama here learning!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
There are lots of "good" ones out there, but I don't mind spending the bit extra on Other World Computing's products. I just bought a 1 TB external SSD with a USB-C connector. Works great and is about as fast as you can get since it has a 6G drive. That and with a direct USB-C connection, you get the highest possible transfer rate from an external source that isn't Thunderbolt 3.

You could use your memory stick and just buy a cable from USBC to USBC A -
Your MacBook Air should have USBC C ports, your MacBook Pro would have USB A
Any usc-c external drive will work. I'd get a SSD rather than a rotating drive.
Make sure you format the drive for your Mac when you get it.
cheers for that, I just ordered the same one
You'll like it. I have an older 3G 500GB SSD in a USB 3 enclosure, and the speed of the new 6G, USB-C drive blows it away.
what is the best EXTERNAL HARDRIVE I can buy for a new MacBook Air 8GB
