6 pin connector to macbook

[Ptrosk78]

I have an old external hard drive that uses a 6 pin output only. I got a 6 pin coverter since the new MacBooks no longer have 6 pin outputs. I get an error saying "too much power" and it won't work. Not sure why and if there is a better option.

The issue is we have stuff on the old hard drive we can't get off
