this is what USB-C ports looks like:



is that what your Mac has?


and this is what a USB connection looks like:



is that the end on your external drive? if yes, you can use the adapter I linked to in my original reply.

I'm looking again, and it looks like the cable connected to the external drive is removable.



if it is, can you unplug the cable from the drive and look at the port on the external drive itself. if I am correct, it should be the same as the port on your Mac. (which is USB-C) if the Mac and the external drive actually are the same, you can get an USB-C to USB-C cable with no need for an adapter.
