Hi,
just being careful here. I need to connect a legacy FW800/USB drive to a new iMac 2020 (back up previous machine) so I’m using USB, I don’t have TB3/FW adapter.
I was about to go ahead and connect via USB, but since I don’t want to “not connect” on first start up, I want to be 100% sure that I don’t need a USB3 to older USB2 adapter cable.
I know you need USB-C to old USB adaptor.
As far as I was aware, I’m good to go, but so many variants of USB standard it’s a bit confusing, so worth checking.
I happen to have a new 1 TB Sandisk external SSD which has a USB-C cable with a USB2 dongle on the end to allow connections. I guess I could go that way too.
Can anybody confirm please.
I know Apple pair everything but do they also charge up the mouse/keyboard for out of the box set up? No indicators of state of charge on either, so how do you know?
thanks.
