  Daisy Chain travel Hard Drive..?

  Posted by Grant Wilber on October 27, 2012 at 10:12 am

  Don’t really know where to put this thread.

  But does anyone know of a travel hard drive that you can add to a daisy chain? Doesn’t need to have two ports, can be at the end of the chain. But most of the small hard drives I have that aren’t powered won’t mount if I daisy chain through other hard drives, they have to be directly connected to the computer.

  Is the only way to add into a daisy chain is to have the hard drive powered?

  Using FW800 would be best.

  I’ve got a Lacie Rugged 1TB which I use when I’m out and about which daisy chains quite happily at the end of a chain which goes MacBook Pro – GRaid (running on a power adapter) – Lacie on FW800. I suspect that the most important thing for the chain to work is that the GRaid has enough power on it’s FW800 port to run the Lacie, tbh.

  I ‘Googled Firewire 800 hub’ and got this:
