Q: can i connect my 2007 macbook pro to a 2015 mac mini

I have a 2007 Mac Book Pro that is running fine but the hard drive is running out of space. Can I connect it to a mac mini and use that as an external hard drive?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo), iOS 6.1.3

Fastest would be to connect the two via FireWire and boot the one you want to use as storage in Target Disk Mode

You can also boot the computer is normal mode and use Fire Sharing (System Preferences>Sharing>File Sharing)
