Due to compatibility issues, if you use the eSATA interface to do the data transfer, the
Silicon Image eSATA host controller is highly recommended.

Connecting Multiple Devices

Using FireWire 400 or 800, you can connect other computer hardware or digital devices to your
RAID System. This connection is called "Daisy chain." Items which may be connected might be
such as digital video camera, another HD or DVD writer. However, you must use the same
interface in order for Daisy Chain to work. The computer will not recognize the different
interfaces if they are all used at the same time. In addition, if a mix of connections is used, the
resulting speed will be limited to the lowest one available.
When only one of the FireWire connectors is plugged in, the other FireWire connector
will be viewed as a "daisy chain" port. When only one of the USB or eSATA connectors
is plugged in, the connector will be viewed as its original port, either USB or eSATA respectively.
