USB 2.0 to mini-USB for Ext.HDD

Hi!

Just got a NexStar SX enclosure for a 2.5" external hard drive setup. It came with a USB 2.0 to USB-mini cable to attach from computer to the external enclosure.

I'd like to get another cable so I don't have to drag the cable between two computers at different sites.

On the cable it says:
"AWG 2725 80C 30V VW-1 28 AWG/IP and 24 AWG/2C USB2.0 cable"

Question: What kind of mini-USB end is it that I need - how many pins are needed? I've seen some listed as 4, 5, 8, 14 pin ones. How many pin mini-USB end do I need for this cable?

I believe this is what you are looking for. There are other brands of this type of cable as well.
