Question about daisy chaining a pair of DL4100s - what will I see?

I’m running a Windows system at home. I have two D:4100 NAS drives and want to daisy chain them. From what I’ve read when I connect A to B and B to the network, they will both use a single IP address.

Right now, both are running separately on the network. Each has its own IP address and shows up as a single 11.8 TB drive (16TB NAS in RAID 5 configuration).

My question is this: if I daisy chain them, how will they appear in Windows as hard drives? A single 23.6TB drive? Two 11.8 TB drives? Something else? And if I point something to them which looks only for an IP address on the network (eg an Apple TV) how will that device know which hard drive to look at if they appear as two hard drives.

I realise I could just try it and see, but I’d rather get an idea of what it will taste like first…

TIA

Have you got a link for daisy chaining? never seen that.
“I think” you could make B an ISCI target then connect A to that target A would see it as a local drive and could be shared. You would still have two IP’s but could get to both shares with one IP

yea, I don’t think it really does daisy chaining
