like it uses that goofy adapter cable: Micro-B to Type A.

What else could it use???


The enclosure is big enough to use a regular Type B.
It's a 3.5" disk.

I suppose they might take advantage of the new shingled
drives in the 0.8" high HDA, and make the enclosure
with less vertical height. 4TB can be done with 2 platters
on shingled drives.

If you were doing a 2.5" disk enclosure, then the
Micro-B might make more sense.

Have you seen a USB3 Type B?
It's significantly bigger than a USB2 type B and looks rather weird.
I haven't ever come across anything that needs one.
