Finally found what I wanted.....

I purchased a new portable 500-gig Seagate "GOFlex" drive that has a
USB 3 connector. The computer end looks just like USB 2 except little
three pronged indicator has an "SS" before it which is the symbol for
USB 3. But it was the other end which plugs into the drive that I had
not seen before. It is a "micro-B" connector. The problem is the
length of the cable that came with the drive -- it's only about 10" long
and my new computer has a USB 3 PCIe card. I didn't have to go around
to the back of the computer every time I plugged or unplugged the drive
-- I needed a longer cord. So far, I've only be able to locate a 3-foot
one in stock anywhere, but that's long enough.
