Pardon this really basic USB cable question but I have never had to buy one before. I have a new (well refurbished) May 2015 Retina 15" Macbook Pro and want to order an extended hard drive for time machine backup. So I need to order a USB cable, please advise me specs of a USB cable to go from my rmbp to an EHD such as 3.0 or 2.0, type A, B or ? and what kind of ends should this cable have on both ends? I am wanting to order from Amazon and their many choices got me confused. I tried researching on the internet and got more confused so I figured you guys had ordered these before.
I have not exactly decided which EHD I will order but I'm thinking a Western Digital 2tb, I have 1tb drive on the mac. I'm hoping to get a Western Digital HD that has a USB 3 port on it. I hope I have even made sense in my questions above, I basically am looking for an exact description of the USB cable that I need to order.
