can the second thunderbolt port on the adapter be used to daisy chain any thunderbolt capable device or would its only use be for another drive?

In my experience the second Thunderbolt port on these Seagate Backup Plus adapters can be used for any additional Thunderbolt device including Apple Cinema Display monitors, pro video capture and play devices, audio DACs, additional hard drives or RAIDS. Hope this helps.

I ordered one over a year ago, and used it with the thunderbolt adapter. It works great.

Although the device only has two thunderbolt connection. You can find adaptors that allow, USB 3, Firewire, Ethernet.

Yes, you can connect any two devices that have female thunderbolt connections

The drive as it is , is a USB3 . To have it Thunderbolt capable you would need to buy the optional Thunderbolt adapter. Would the Thunderbolt adapter workd on the 1 TB drive ?. I dont know

Basic rule of thumb is that this will take up 2 slots. Exactly two. If you only have one Drive slot available, then no.

The drive comes with a USB3 cable. No thunderbolt connection on the unit-only USB.

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.

don't even think about the thunderbolt drive. the usb3 connection is about same speed as thunderbolt but it is less expensive ($100.oo). If the drive fails it is the first year

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 do not know--this was so unreliable I have stopped using it. It did not matter what drives I used--none would stay connected. Also, realize you can only use one at a time.

One drive-likely no problem. You could try attaching 2 drives and might be fine, I am not sure. Again, to be safe, buy a "powered"hub.

No, I built this as a editing machine for solid works, and at my last job had two thunderbolt displays connected daisy chaining two more externals. In total I have 4 monitors running on this computer without issue. The ports are at a standard distance way from each other that two thunderbolt cables connect perfectly.

I am sorry. I don't know what's Thunderbolt adapter. I cannot answer your question.

This is essentially just a hard drive enclosure. Also, being that this is a Thunderbolt box, you will need to use an operating system that will acknowledge the thunderbolt ports. Are you planning on using one of the drives as a boot drive for another computer?

I'm not sure about daisy chaining, but I use two on my machine. I provide two separate power cables and I use one of the USB ports as the header for the second unit

I have used it with both, works perfectly with either. Get the thunderbolt adapter.
