Lacie Mobile Drive with a late 2015 iMac

How do I connect a Lacie Mobile 2B Drive with USB-C cable to a late 2015 iMac with USB-3 ports? I'm using this as my new backup hard drive with Time Machine.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.6

The cable is high-quality, which I consider essential for an external drive. I’ve also had great experience that that particular cable.


I found it cheaper here:
