    it's not exactly "normal" usb. It is pinched in like that by design. They are most commonly used on external drives. I have one WD with it, and one Lacy Rugged with it. It will not connect to a normal shaped port. I don't know of any actual purpose to it.

    No it's not a USB-C and it's not symmetrical.
    Just to be sure, the unknown connector is the bottom one, at first sight I believed it was an hdd USB 3 connector (the pinched one above, I have many), but this is really unknown, and I can't find any infos on the web.
    I'm sure I got it somewhere, maybe with some equipment but I just can't recall.

    It seems that doesn't fit sata, and I don't have playstation, so mistery is growing.

    it's not a thunderbolt 2. a much more robust connector, it sucks it's kind of obsolete but that is mostly due to slimmer macbook pro chassis.

    I have a few other odd sized usb cables like these. they are for charging Logitech keyboard, tablet, and phone. And Logitech mouse, which is different than the keyboard. lol. Aside from the shape, I am guessing that it will be usb-c like in speeds. The idea of "Universal" in cables didn't really last that long. And there is another taller one even for wireless interfaces, cameras, etc.

    It's called USB 3 Micro B (Super Speed) and mainly used for external HDs (I've got several with it).
