I will get a new MacBook Pro soon and currently, I am using a 2010 model with FireWire.
I will make the switch to the new MacBook with a fresh installation and then step by step so I can ensure everything is working as before.
Instead of copying my data via WIFI/Ethernet I wanted to connect the two Macs with a FireWire to USB-C Adapter. So I went ahead and bought the one from Apple, but I did not see, that it is Thunderbolt 2 and now I see that an Apple Thunderbolt 2 to 3 Adapter is like 55 Euros. The FireWire was 35 Euros so in total 90 Euros, just get those two macs connected via Target Disk modus!? Crazy!
Is there something like a direct FireWire -> Thunderbolt 3 Adapter? Probably not since the market would be to small and there a few use cases for it..
I think, I will probably just copy via 1 Gbit network which is even a little faster. And that way I can still use the old macbook while copying data...Should have thought about that before..I think I just liked the idea of using this cool Target Disk Modus feature since it has been a long time since I last used it. LOL
