Daisy chain "g speed es" to a "g speed Q"

I am running a g-speed Q on my MacBook pro, I also have a g-speed es and was wondering if the controller in the Q will daisy chain via the eSata cable to the “es” unit to run as a dual raid system.

Thanks, John

The eS only works via the actual eSATA controller card and the Q has its own controller built in to the enclosure. Also you can only daisychain off of two interfaces, those are FW and Thunderbolt. Since the eS has no FW connection it cannot be daisy chained.

Thanks for your quick response…
