USB-C is the latest connector offering the fastest speeds. This is the format Apple has adopted in their new MacBooks. It looks kind of like an oversized MicroUSB. The included cable is USB-C on one end (to connect to the drive) and USB3 on the other which will connect to your 3.0 ports. This drive is VERY fast and will take advantage of every bit of the speed your USB 3 ports will handle. Highly recommended.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Usb 3.0 equals Usb 3.1 gen 1, so you will get the quoted speeds for the drive, which for me have been great for video editing large 1080p files and playing large games like Shadow of Mordor (40 Gigabytes). The type c connector is on the actual drive, so if you had a usb-c to usb-c cable, it can connect to this drive and a computer with a usb-c port. It comes with a usb-c to usb-3.1 connect which you can use on usb 1, usb 2 or usb 3 ports. You just stick the usb-c end into the drive.
