Q: 10. I am looking for an External hard drive to back up videos from my iMac M1 (2021) and my iPhone 12 pro max. Will this Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive plug directly into my 2021 iMac M1 without buying an adapter? Also what kind of adaptor would I need to plug it into my iPhone 12 for backing up video files from the phone? TIA

A: Yes, the LaCie 5TB Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive BH #LASTFR500080 connect to a 2021 M1 iMac with the included cables, no adapter is required. While it is possible to connect the drive to the iPhone, it is not very convenient since it requires multiple adapters and would also need to be connected to power. I would suggest instead transferring the content to your mac and then it will be backed up with the rest of the things you have when you make a backup of your iMac using time machine. Another option is getting more iCloud storage which would just run seamlessly in the background for backups and is far more convenient. If you do want to connect it, you would need these items. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1241761-REG/apple_mk0w2am_a_lightning_to_usb_3_0.html?sts=pi&pim=Y https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1429003-REG/rocstor_y10a207_a1_usb_male_to_usb_c.html?sts=pi&pim=Y The adapter has a lightning power input which you might need to use to connect the drive to the iPhone if it's unable to deliver enough power.
