5. You are now ready to begin using your RAID System!
Ready
to go!
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
connected to the RAID System may be such as digital video camera, another
HDD, DVD writer, and much more. However, you must use the same interface in
order for the Daisy Chain to work. The computer will not recognize 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 an additional FireWire connector is plugged in, the connector will be
viewed as a "daisy chain" port. When an additional USB or eSATA connectors is
plugged in, the connector will be viewed as its originate port, either USB or
eSATA respectively.
