Re: FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt 3
Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter.
going into
Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter.

Or a Thunderbolt 3 dock like the one OWC sells with a Firewire 800 port on it (the 13 port model not the more recent 14 port one).
(this question has been answered on DUC before)
But.. before spending money on adapters...spinning disk is so last century. Do you have an SSD in that iMac? If this Firewire HDD is being used for audio/session you will be much better off running the sessions on the internal super-fast PCIe/NVMe SSD.
And if you really want an external drive lower-end USB-3.1 SSDs like the Samsung T5 will blow this HDD out the water, much faster, much more robust and reliable. Higher-end Thunderbolt 3/NVMe external SSDs like the Samsung X5 or Sonnet Fusion SSD are much faster again. Keep backups/archives on HDD, they are great for that.
