Is the data/power cable connecting to the drive standard micro USB or proprietary to Western Digital? null

Question

No. The included USB 3.0 A-Male-to-Micro-B-Male is standard to most USB 3.0 hard drives, some phones, etc. You can easily buy replacement versions separately of different lengths and from different brands.

I would just avoid this particular model drive, however. It's failure-prone. Choose a My Passport instead, or others.

It's a standard USB 3.0 Cable (A-Male to Micro-B). I have this Western Digital drive and two Toshiba drives of varying sizes and they all use the exact same cable.

This hard drive uses the standard USB 3.0 cable connection not a micro USB connector.
