How can I connect Old Lacie Ext. HD with Firewire cable to my new Mac I have a new Mac desktop computer. that doesn't have a port for the Firewire plug from my old Lacie external hard drive that is loaded with files I must save. My old Mac made in 2007 had this port as you can see in the photo. The arrow points to the plug on the back of my old Mac that accommodated the cord from my old Lacie Ext. HD. The same plug is on the Lacie HD. Is there an adapter I can buy that will allow me to connect the old Lacie HD to my new Mac purchased in 2020? If not, how do I save all the files on the old Lacie HD. This is the biggest problem I have with computer technology, storage of files like photos, videos and text documents that you store on a storage device today will not be accessible in 10 or 15 years. Before computers we just filed negatives in envelopes in file cabinets that are always easily accessible. Thanks in advance for any advise for this not-too-technically-literate Mac fan.
