Thankfully Western Digital sees that this port is still not ready for prime time, so they included an adapter to plug to the standard USB-A. Works like a charm

This drive came already formatted for Windows and there is a USB C to USB C cable also included, as well as a keyed adapter to make it a USB C to USB A cable, in case your current computer doesn't have a USB C port

This USB C (backward compatible adapter included) external drive is great for doing backups or taking large amounts of data (movies, photos, etc) with you
