Try EBay, just make sure it has the 2 USB connectors and the one mini USB one and you should be fine

You can buy them in almost any computer store I'm sure. Mine is this guy here but newer hard drives might have the smaller connections. If you bring your harddrive in with you, they can help you find the right one.

Should be able to get these anywhere peats/argos/etc (sorry just read someone else said that).

Just confirming it looks like this (called a usb a to usb b cable).

(The 'square' connections are usually for printers).

I think the portable drives usually use the smaller USB b connector with 2x USB a connectors to power it
