USB ports and Macbook pro 2015

I have a MacBook Pro 2015 with usb 2 ports. My external hard drive had apparently died with no information retrievable. I'm looking for a new External hard drive for my back ups and Time Machine but they all now appear to have usb 3 ports. Do I need a different connector?

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)

Ports on my Older LACIE external hard drive are not compatible with new MacBook Pro I believe the ports on the LACIE are 2 firewire 800 and a USB 3.0 USB 2.0 compatible. My new MacBook has the following ports - Charging and Expansion SDXC card slot HDMI port 3.5 mm headphone jack MagSafe 3 port Three Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports with support for: Charging DisplayPort Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40Gb/s) USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s) Any suggestions on an adapter or cable that will allow me to get old data off of this external hard drive? Ideally, I would love to continue using this hard drive if a cable exists that will allow me to link this HD to my computer. In advance, thank you for any help provided. Kelly M
