I need to purchase an external hard drive for my new MacBook Air, bought Feb 2020. It has a different sized port (ie plug in spot) from the prior Air I had. Can someone recommend one that is compatible?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
See the following about the ports from MacBook Air - Technical Specifications - Apple
Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports with support for:
Charging
DisplayPort
Thunderbolt (up to 40Gb/s)
USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)
One possibility that is compatible with that and which is very fast is the following: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0765PBZNL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks very much. I just wanted to be sure that the plug would fit my new Mac, since they changed the size of it from my 4 yr old computer which I had to replace, and I've already gotten some things that don't fit. Thanks!
If you have some other accessories with the older USB connection, you can use an adapter. See: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJ1M2AM/A/usb-c-to-usb-adapter
