How do you use an external hard drive with an Apple laptop?

I am looking into purchasing an Apple laptop, but my HD is USB 3.0. How do I attach it to an Apple laptop?

If you are getting a "Silicon" 2020 model it has USB-C. You can buy a USB-A/B to USB-C adapter.

e.g. USB-C - USB adapter http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1M2AM/A/usb-c-to-usb-adapter
