What you need to know about daisy-chaining:
You cannot daisy-chain USB devices. Do not connect a USB
•
device to the Drive.
FireWire ports can be used in any order. For example, it does not
•
matter which port you use to connect the Drive to your computer
and which port you use to connect another FireWire device.
You can locate the Drive anywhere in a daisy-chain (e.g. first, last,
•
or somewhere in the middle).
Data transfer rates between two devices in a daisy-chain will
•
be limited by the device with the slower interface. For example,
data transfers between a FireWire 400 hard drive and a FireWire
800 hard drive will be limited to FireWire 400 speeds.
FireWire devices with only one FireWire (1394) port (e.g. digital
•
camcorders) will necessarily be placed last in a daisy-chain.
Bus-powered devices, such as 2.5" portable hard drives, can be
•
included in a daisy-chain, provided the Drive's FireWire port sup-
plies sufficient power to run the device.
