USB-C question:
1) What is the difference between a USB-C charging cable and a USB-C Data cable?
2) Can one be used for the other?
3) When I receive my MacBook Pro Friday, what would be an adequate test of each of the 4 USB-C ports?
I plan to verify
1) Each port can charge the laptop
2) I can transfer data from my WD My Passport Ultra to the laptop
For context, I'm coming from a Thinkpad W540 with 32gb - the first laptop that I never had to wait on..
So this is my first Mac. Please include a few extra breadcrumbs if your answer includes something specific to MacOS.
