The connecting wire is very short. If I buy a longer one, what do I buy? USB 3.0 5Gbps Type A Male to Micro-B Male Cable???

I would take the short wire to the store with me to buy a new wire. I don't know the answer to your question.

I use a USB extension cable when I need to put my drive someplace to far for the 6in cable.

BestBuy has an adaptor kit that is much more stable. However, if you haven't bought this, I would go with a Western Digital or some other brand. These break to easy.

I'm donating it so it's packed away right now. I seem to recall a cable that had a standard A connector on it. Whatever it was, it didn't meet my needs, and I bought a 2 port front panel USB 3 unit.

I have 5 of these and every one of them came with the cable. The cable is a "USB 2.0 A (male) to USB MINI B 5 (male) pin cable". You can get them on ebay for a dollar with free shipping. I have found them at thrift stores like Salvation Army and Goodwill for a dollar or less as well. Here is what it looks like: AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable - A-Male to Mini-B - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

The cable is a bit on the short side and I use a MacBook - the length is 6 inches but I did notice that this USB 3.0 hub transfers data slower than the USB 3.0 ports on my MacBook - it charges devices slower too. I hope this helps

Mini and micro USB are different. Micro is the more common but this device uses a mini USB. I would suggest amazon for a new mini USB cord. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-2-0-Cable--Male/dp/B00NH11N5A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431465887&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+usb

I don't think I have it anymore. This should work though:C2G / Cables To Go 27005 USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, Black (2 Meter/6.56 Feet)

I think it is more of a Mini-B USB cable. As explained in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Mini_and_Micro_connectors

Any electronics vendor should have one. Its a USB Standard-A male plug to a USB Mini-B male plug. Try this to search amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_sc_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ausb+a+to+usb+b+mini&keywords;=usb+a+to+usb+b+mini&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1414091492.

USB is the only connection to the computer available and I am using the cable that came in box. The cable looks to be 24", but I did not disconnect it to measure it. Not sure of USB type. I believe my computer recognizes USB 3.0 and 4.0

While I don't know the actual spec model/name for the usb 3.0 cable it looks the same as a micro usb but the micro end is wider with two sets of pins. On Amazon if you search usb 3.0 cable it looks like the first amazon basic cable that comes up.Actually the cable descriptions taught me something. It is type A Male to micro B.

You need a USB 3.0 (A Male to Micro B Male) cable. You can do a search here at Amazon or else where.

The USB connection isn't very long, it's around a meter or so, but you could probably be able to buy a longer one to suit your needs.

Well, I don't imagine it matters what you plug in PROVIDING it's a standard size USB connection. You could call the vendor.
