I am looking to add a bootable hard drvie to my macbook pro (13" retina display early 2015 model). I have read that bootable disks must be connected to firewire but the macbook does not have a firewire port. Is it possible to boot from a disk connected by Thunderbolt? (or a firewire connected device through firewire - thunderbolt adaptor)? Thanks for any help anyone can give.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Hi,
As far as I know, you can boot from the external bootable drive which is connected Thunderbolt port.

kaz-k is correct – you can (and I have) booted from a USB drive connected to the TB port.
Thank you kaz-k and neuro 👍
