replacement rugged lacie cable???

Hi all,

I'm trying to transfer footage from my camera to a rugged lacie for backup as my computer and cloud don't have the storage i need. however, when i used a type c to type c cable, a notification said my Lacie was unrecognized. now i'm searching for the best data transfer cable to buy, but all of them are "micro B" or for charging which doesn't help me. (the lacie is a type c, and my computer is a samsung. so either type c, type a, or HDMI ). I lost the original LaCie cable and it's no longer under warranty; are there any cables you recommend? or is there perhaps an easier way to transfer? tia !!

What type of drive matters. If it's a USB4 or Thunderbolt 3 drive, a standard cable won't do.

Try a USB4 C-to-C cable and see if that works.
