I have a new Air with Thunderbolt 4 ports. My external backup (time machine) disks and flash drives have usb connections (I do not know the difference between USB A, B, C). What adapter do I need to connect these devices to the Thunderbolt 4 port?
Thanks.
MacBook Air (M2, 2022)
I use this adaptor to connect from my MacBook Air's USB-C ports to a USB A device (e.g. external disk drive): USB-C to USB-A Adaptor

USB-A connectors are the common flat, rectangular ones.
USB-B connectors are chunky and bread-loaf-shaped. You might see them on printers.
USB-C connectors are the ones you have on your MacBook Air.
USB 3.0 Micro-B connectors are the small, crimped connectors that you see on the hard drive end of many portable hard drives.
Thanks, that looks like what I need.
Glad to be of assistance.
