I am replacing my older Mac Mini with the latest version and will therefore lose the USB-A port which I use to connect with a Seagate external drive. Is it possible to get a replacement cable for the thunderbolt port?

Mac mini, macOS 15.0
Ok, then in this case, you should be able to use a simple USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect this drive to your mini.
Something like this one from Amazon: Anker USB-C Adapter
Apple does sell USB-C to USB-A cables. Thunderbolt uses the same USB port type as USB-C.
Of course, I'm assuming that your external Seagate drive is equipped with a USB-A type port.
Thanks for your reply but no the Seagate doesn’t have any USB. It’s the cable which plugs into a USB-A so it’ll be redundant with the new Mac Mini.
Thank you. I’ll order one now.
You're very welcome!
