FireWire/thunderbolt issue

I’m trying to find out whether i can run a thunderbolt device on a mini mac that only has a fw800 port. Anyone know? It’s a mid 2010 mac running sierra 10.12.6

Mac mini, 2010

No' however OWC still has some combo FireWire 800 drives and enclosures available that also have USB 3.0 or 3.1 connections. That way you could still use them with a newer Mac in the future. see > Search Results for Mercury Firewire 800 drives at MacSales.com
