The USB connection for My Book For Mac got bent, and now doesn’t work. Where can I buy a replacement? Is it standard or do I have to order from WD? Thanks, Linda

You just need a standard USB A to USB Micro B cable. You can buy one from WD or someplace else, it’s just a standard USB A to USB Micro B cable. Just make sure it’s a USB 3.0 cable when buying.

Example: Amazon.com

Of course you can also buy directly from WD: https://www.wdc.com/en-ie/products/accessories/my-book-usb-3_0-cable-usb-30-to-micro-b.html#WDCA044RNN

Just one small note: this applies if you have any Mac but one of the latest MacBook Pros (late 2016). These only have USB C connectors so you would need a different cable then.
