Morning everyone
I recently exported all my creative media data and my iTunes library from my iMac's hard drive onto 2 Samsung portable SSD's as it was getting really full. I also want to future proof things for the day my iMac dies. The SSD's came with a usb c to usb cable, which I've plugged into the back of my iMac.
My question is whether there is a cable available that will enable me to plug the SSD's directly into my iMac's thunderbolt ports instead? I don't want to go down the adapter route if I can avoid it.
It's a late 2012 imac so has (I believe) Thunderbolt 1 or 2 technology.
I've seen these, but I'm not sure whether they'll do the job or not: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073W6QWY5/
Thanks, Nick
