Speed Editor cable - USB 2.0/3.0?

From what I've read the Speed Editor either comes with a USB-C to USB-C connector, or none at all. Given my PC doesn't have any USB-C sockets I'm going to pick up a USB-C to USB Type A cable but I wondered whether it needs to be USB 3 (for power reasons) or whether a USB 2.0 cable would suffice?

I can't tell you the answer to that, but USB 3.0 cables should still work in USB 2.0 ports, so the USB3 cable would be a safer bet I think.
You could also just get an adapter from C to A, rather than a whole cable.

It's a USB 2.0 device despite the Type-C connector, so Type-A to Type-C cable works fine and is how I've got mine connected (whether USB2 or 3 - just make sure it's not a "power only"/charge cable). I hate the mess that USB cables/connectors are since the introduction of Type-C...

Thanks. Yeah the whole USB world is a very confusing mess these days!
