Can this be daisy chained with my hard drive?

You might be able to find something that will give that effect, but you'll likely notice drastic performance reduction. It sort of defeats the purpose of the firewire connection.

I tried to daisy chain the interface through my firewire Western Digital drive and it created a bad latency issue that i could not seem to fix, so for me, it did not work

If you are wondering if you can daisy chain 2 of these units the answer is yes.

If you are backing up to an external drive, you will be fine. You can program the software to make scheduled backup to any drive but I do not know if you can change were the data resides unless you do that at installation of the software.

It is possible, I don't think there would be any harm to the hard drive unless you reformatted to match the computer. You should be able to plug it in, go through your explorer to find the device and accomplish what you want from there.

Yes. If your drive has a power connector, you plug it in there, either directly or with the supplied adapter. There are 3 photos that show the complete setup clearly for different drive types, with instructions for each.

Yes you can. There's multiple options at your disposal, such as Synology Data Replicator.

You can't daisy chain this product with another My Book. But you can add a standard external hard drive to it.

You sure can. I have mine working with one WD red 3tb hard drive. Will upgrade to another one same capacity once I get this one full.

I have this unit daisy chained to 2 thunderbolt drives from my mbp. Love the seagate unit though I have heard that constant switching of ssd units takes a toll in the ssd connectors. I should think you could daisy chain a monitor through something like a black magic mini recorder which I also love or... Get a thunderbolt hub. Jim gurney

Rocco, I wish that I knew the answer. I have the same question, as I'm interested in purchasing two, of the WD World Edition 2TB, to daisychain them through the USB. Maybe, somebody will know soon?

None but its independent of the os so it should function like any other jump drive

You can. Not a feature I have tied yet. USB drive seems to be the best answer and of course you would need to set it up in your setup menu.

No, it is not possible, but this shouldn't be a handycapp in order that any operation with a hard drive is made on a single way.

No this is a formatted pic hdd. You may be able to attempt an external hook up with it but not an internal swap. I'd do some Google searching though I'm not sure if this one will work externally due to its size.

I imagine so, but I cannot confirm. I have mine (the 2 TB model) daisy chained with two older 1TB WD My Studio drives, running into a thunderbolt port, and have had not problems. Comp &lt; 2TB [firewire to thunderbolt] &lt; 1TB [firewire 800] &lt; 1TB [firewire 800] They are really pretty much a plug and play solution, set them up once, and forget em. I wish I would have ponied up the other fifty or so bucks and for the 3TB to run as time machine. Hope this helps.

I've never daisy chained using two different connections, but I don't think that would be a problem. The drive does daisy chain, yes. I've daisy chained several G-Technology drives using the FW800.

Sorry I really don't know. USB devices like this can be plugged into many ports, but I don't know about chaining them.
