I have tested these drives internally and externally with numerous USB, USB C, and Active Thunderbolt cables. With all I get roughly the same speed which is about 200 MB/s. That speed was even consistent using a SATA cable and having the drive internal to the PC.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.USB 3.0 has transfer rates up to 5gbs. Using a USB-C adapter won’t improve on those speeds since the drive is designed with USB 3.0 technology.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you have get any number of USB 3 to USB C cable, it will work fine. USB C is a connector type, but the cable could be USB 2.0 to USB 3.1 depending on maker. Make sure it is USB 3.0 or 3.1 to USB C. USB C is better at power delivery, but not useful in this case.
