Cable question...

Just purchased a new MacBook Air. I want to hook up my external hard drive (used on a MacBook Pro) to it for backup. It is USB on both ends. I need a cable that is USB on one end and Thunderbolt on the other. Recommendations?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Hi,

You need to get USB-C to USB adapter.
