[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1938335, member: 396914"] A USB A port is the typical rectangular port with four contacts. It's the older, most common port. USB C port is smaller, oval and has more connectors. So, the tag on the Anker means that the larger rectangular port on the Anker is unpowered. To get the external drive working you'll need a USB-c to USB-A adapter and plug into either a USB C port on the Mac (best option) or on the Anker. [/QUOTE]
