You can get the Apple USB-C to USB-A adapter:

USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple


Or get a dock to be able to handle multiple devices. I got the OWC:

And my Seagate with USB-A works just fine.


Otherwise, you can certainly buy a USB-C hard drive.

First of all I want to thank Keith Barkley

for her reply to my query

My problem still exists.

The USB Cable supplied with my Seagate external hard drive does not fit into the back of my iMac 24”12.1 OS X Monterey which has four ports. ( two thunderbolt & two ordinary)

May be I shall have to go to any apple computer shop with my external hard drive with its USB cable to see if there is a connecter which will be compatible with my iMac latest model
