One advice with external storages, use the windows ''Safely Remove Hardware'' feature which appears on the bottom right of the screen everytime before you unplug it to avoid issues with the device.

So the cable they sent me is okay to use, then. Good to know.

And it will be permanent addition, to replace or add to the backup drive I'm already using which is just too small for everything now. So no worries about unplugging it from the PC - if that happens it will be purely accidental, lol.
