Hi guys, I just came across a couple of articles that relates to FireWire daisy chaining devices together to create a whole massive setup of external devices.
I'm just wondering what are your inputs based on SATA enclosures? Is it based off the idea of the device having two FireWire slots to show that it supports daisy chaining?
And I'm going to be running on several 3.5" SATA HDDs (currently I've got 1TB+2TB HDDs), and I'm always looking for ways to fully utilise their potential. The 2TB I just purchased is a WD Caviar Green HDD, and I overseen the idea of it being more useful in a tower PC or a MacPro due to its eSATA issue.
Since I'm running on a MBP, I might as well go over to FireWire 800 devices, and since this is a HDD by itself, which would be better - A HDD-dock where I can swap HDDs with ease, or an enclosure that supports FireWire 800?
Also, I read about RAID setups, and I'm still wondering how are RAID compared to external HDDs? As far as I can understand, both of them are used to store data, but RAID has more benefits somehow?
