I am in need of a new external hard drive. From what I've read online and spoken to others about, a G-Raid 2 seems to be my best option. I have a Macbook (not a Macbook Pro) so I only have one firewire 400 port and no firewire 800 ports. I have an Iomega HD which has 2 firewire 400 ports. I have been daisy-chaining my XL2 camera into one 400 port and then going out of the other port into my Macbook.
Looking at the G-Raid 2 online, I only see one Firewire 400 port (http://www.g-raid.com/Products/G-RAID2-Images/G-RAID/G-RAID-Rear.jpg). Is there a problem going from my camera into the 800 port and then out of the HD's 400 port into my Macbook? I am wanting to verify this before spending money on a HD I can't use.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
