Message: [QUOTE="zacventuschavez, post: 1567510, member: 25635"] Hi all, I have a couple of old firewire drives I would love to pull data off of. After some googling, it looks like it isn't straightforward to get from firewire to USB. I have a 2013 macbook air 13" and a 2017 iMac 21" Intel Core i5 to work with. If I can get the data to either of those, I'm good. I believe I can connect everything in this manner: Hard drive's Firewire 400 jack > FW 400 to 800 adapter cable > Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter > Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter > iMac. My question is if this will actually work for transferring the data? The system report for the mac, under Firewire, just says "No FireWire ports were found." Will the mac be able to read the data? Thank you for your help. I hope I've explained this clearly, but please let me know if I should be providing any additional information. [/QUOTE]
