I have several external Firewire drive that I want to connect to my server (G4 @ 733MHz) and I wonder if there is any difference in the performance in how they are connected.
I have:
- LaCie DVD±RW dual layer - LaCie 250GB d2 Extreme - Maxtor OneTouch 200GB - FW case with various 20-30GB disks
Does it matter which drive is connected directly to the Mac ? and which drive is connected through the first as the all drives cannot be connected directly to the Mac? Is a Firewire hub faster/slower/same as connecting the drives in series (piggy-backing) ?
I hope my question is clear enough, but will obviously further explain if necessary.
Laurence
