What cabling options do I have to connect an (older) G-Technology external HDD to my new MAC Studio? The
Or you could jet get a USB3 cable that is rectangular (USB-A) plug that plugs into one of the 2 USB-A ports on the back of the Studio and has the strange shape USB3 type B high speed on the other end.
Yes. It would be sold as a USB-3 cable, with USB-C to USB-B, and have that same goofy two-story shape, and (typically) blue plastic spacer at that end. It MIGHT be in a box that suggests it is a printer or peripheral cable, because printers and similar peripherals use that USB-B connector.
ThunderBolt cables cost a lot more, and would probably not work.
Those connectors are:
eSATA, USB-3 Blue printertype connector (your best bet), obscured by cable, FireWire-800, DC power, on/off.
Thanks, so the cable I should be looking for is USB-3(Blue) on HDD side and USB-C ? (or Thunderbolt 4) on the MAC Studio side?
Hello, I have a G-Technology (legacy) external drive that I would like to connect to my MAC Studio. The G-Drive only has eSATA connector and early Thunderbolt connections.
