I purchased the micro-B version by mistake, instead of the type-c. It came with one cable which doesn't connect to my macbook. Have I completely messed up or is it possible to get a cable that connects this hard drive to my computer?
Asked by: Hazel
I am sure if you check around there are micro B to C cable. You can also purchase an attachment as I have done for your mac to allow for multiple inputs. My Anker has 2 standard USbs, an HDMI, and 2 Apple C connectors. Really comes in handy when working with different devices. Not everyone is all MAC like us.

question

Is this a normal hard drive with just an orange rubber for protection or there is extra protection inside the actual drive case?
Asked by: Anonymous
The case itself is a protective all metal enclosure, however most of the protection comes from the rubber around the drive itself.
