I have two OWC external drives that I used for Time Machine and Super Duper backups. I had a Firewire cable from my iMac feeding one OWC drive and a short firewire cable linking the two drives.
My new machine is USB 3 with the A-Type connectors. However, the USB 3 connectors on the OWC drives are the Micro B.
I would like to stick with the idea of only using one output from the iMac so I plan to feed one drive with a cable that is A-Type to Micro B. To feed the second OWC drive I am thinking of connecting them with Firewire to Firewire. Will that work?
