I have this hooked up with USB. Can I daisy chain another thunderbolt drive to it? I know the speed would be chocked to USB speed.

I think the dual thunderbolt version is primarily intended for that. I suppose if you used the USB port to connect to the computer and the thunderbolt to daisy chain to another gdrive, it would work. On the product creator's site, there is this forum entry on daisy chaining: http://support.g-technology.com/kbase/users/kb.php?id=76 I admit I have not tried this. Otherwise, if you want to go completely thunderbolt on it, you should choose the version of the g-drive with dual thunderbolt ports on it. http://www.amazon.com/G-Technology-G-RAID-Dual-External-Drive/dp/B002QID2NG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402279606&sr=8-2&keywords=g+drive+dual+thunderbolt

G-Technology G-DRIVE with Thunderbolt (0G03124) has a transfer rate of up to 165 MB/s. http://g-technology.com/products/g-drive-thunderbolt

First remember that this is a pair of hard drives, with up to 233 MB/s data transfer rates. This is well short of maximum of Thunderbolt 1 or 2. Furthermore, it does not have a second port to make a chain, so downstream data rates are not relevant. So, though it is Thunderbolt 1, changing to Thunderbolt 2 would not make any difference to any related or relevant performance.

Unfortunately just one. You can't daisy chain using this drive. FYI - after one week my g-tech died.

But how would you add more than one external drive? Would you just use a USB hub?

If you have FireWire 800 you can daisy chain several drives together. I have a 12 core mac that can do that, not sure on a PC . The drives can be formatted for PC. The best thing would be to ask customer support at G-Tech, they have been very good at answering my questions in the past.

I just Received this drive. It is not compatible with the thunderbolt adapter (no I/O sockets for the adapter). It only has a USB-3 and power connection. I'm not sure where they came up with STDU4000100 on the sales page because the model # on the case is: SRD00F2. I will be questioning Amazon on this.

Mine is set up so that the thunderbolt from my Mac goes to the thunderbolt hub. I then have a USB three coming out of the thunderbolt hub a USB three hub that I have. I then have many drives hooked into the USB three hub. It works seemlessly. Does your PC have a thunderbolt port in it? If it does, there is no problem going from thunderbolt hub to USB three hub in then out to peripherals from the USB three hub.

I don't know that you can find a firewire to Thunderbolt adapter going from new tech drive to old tech computer.. as said already.. it normally goes the other way around.

Yes you absolutely can. i have 2- 4tb seagate go flex drives sitting on these and daisy chained together into a thunderbolt port on a iMac.they can also be used in the same mannor on usb 2.0/3.0they work great

I would think that you could not do this with the device by itself. Since it copies sector to sector, even if you have less than 250GB on the source drive, some sectors near the end may be used. You could, however, use the USB3 connector to attach both drives and copy files from one drive to the other. Not as fast, but doable. HTH, Jeff

First buy the thunderbolt connector. It is less expensive to buy it from Apple. I then purchased an external disk drive. Good luck

You can't daisy chain these drives since they only have one usb port. Both must be connected to your computer at the same time in order to transfer data from one another

Yes. One of the built in redundancies of USB 3.0 (as it was with 2.0) is that they are backwards compatible with the previous interface. The limitation being that it can only run at the top speed of said interface. But I have used this device on Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 plugs and all work great!

I just now had to order a replacement for my thunderbolt duo drive. They are not very big in length and the end that connected to the drive got bent. Hee hee. very expensive laugh there. You will have no problem connecting the cable. Just be careful.

I prefer G Drives because the speed of the HD 7200RPM. I know connecting via thunderbolt is not going to make it faster but I am already using my USB ports for Audio Interfaces. It is just convenience and less things to carry and connect by using the thunderbolt.

I have one extra thought. Let's say you use up all 4 ports on the SYBA card, and you still want to hook up another hard drive. One way to do it is to add a USB 3.0 PCI card (which I have done). Put an SSD into an external USB 3.0 enclosure, and I can get excellent transfer speed via the USB 3.0 PCI card. I assume that I can use a USB 3.0 Hub to attach more external drives, if necessary. Hope this helps.
