I have a 2TB and a 4TB RAID 0 external drives (both have two physical hard drives in them). Both have a FW800, FW400, and USB port. My MacBook Pro has one FW800 port and two USB ports. I want to copy data from the 4TB drive to the 2TB drive.

Is it better to
A - connect both directly to the laptop, one with USB and one with FW800 or
B - connect the 4TB drive to laptop with FW800 and the 2TB drive to the 4TB drive using a FW400 cable?

Anyone have problems daisy-chaining RAID 0 disks using FW?

Thanks!
