| 1372779 | 2014-04-15 01:33:00 | Misplaced this 2TB Seagate Expansion external HDD USB cable as below: 5678 Anyone knows where can I get a replacement cable? Phoned a few shops in Auckland area and were told that: "Forget about it, go and get a new drive!" |

| 1372781 | 2014-04-15 02:49:00 | I could be wrong BUT... Ask for a USB3 cable. Thats what it looks like. Same connector as used in many brands of USB HD Pretty standard sort of thing ... Try PB Tech . |

| 1372782 | 2014-04-15 03:02:00 | It's just a USB3 Micro-B connector, it's not Seagate specific or anything. Most USB3 drives will use it. PBtech have them for like $12. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1372783 | 2014-04-15 03:27:00 | Phoned a few shops in Auckland area and were told that: "Forget about it, go and get a new drive!" You're kidding right? Can you name the shops? That's a standard MicroUSB 3.0 cable... www.pbtech.co.nz www.pbtech.co.nz |

| 1372785 | 2014-04-15 03:56:00 | If you have a standard microUSB cable lying around somewhere (maybe for your phone), you can use that until you source a new cable. Of course you'll be limited to USB 2.0 speeds :) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1372786 | 2014-04-15 05:28:00 | Been to PB Tech Manukau yesterday and was told that! That's terrible...Obviously the sales people are just that. PBTech should know better. And yes - you can just use a USB 2.0 micro cable if you have one of those lying around. |

| 1372787 | 2014-04-15 06:47:00 | Am I right to say that it's meant for both USB2 micro and USB3 (other than the speed difference)? | bk T (215) | ||
| 1372788 | 2014-04-15 10:17:00 | Yes the design of the jack on the external hard drive allows either type of cable to be used. | wratterus (105) | ||
