If you daisy chain them (usb-c to first ande then Display port from first.I used to rely on my two motus (828mkII and UltraLite Hybrid mkIII) daisy-chained via firewire on my mac, it's a great and (quite) simple way to obtain lots of inputs. Now, you can connect multiple portable Thunderbolt drives and SSDs directly to the OWC Thunderbolt Dock to Can i connect my macbook pro 2017 using thunderbolt 3 will it charge and pass. They had to be placed last in the Thunderbolt chain as the chain was limited to just one bus-powered device. That wasn’t possible with bus-powered drives. In the past, daisy chaining external Thunderbolt storage required you to place it close to the front of the chain to get fast and reliable performance.Declare victory and don't overthink this.MOTU supports the current units under warranty and there is an inexpensive exchange/rebuild program for those if warranty has expired.I do not know if the older mkIII FW units are still supported under the exchange/rebuild program. The instructions for doing so works as you found out but others have had problems as you have read. You did it right so "tricky" doesn't apply to you. But since I need a reliable system, and I don't want to spend my money for something that is not, I'd like to hear from you: what's your experience in daisy-chain two motus? is/was a reliable set up for your needs? would you use it to play live? have you experienced issues, troubles?Hope to hear something from you, I need to get confident in Motu's hardware again, because I have to decide if buy another one or not.OK. I've seen a few 'no' answers relating to older Macs, have Apple decided/announced support for daisy-chaining since.Recently my 828 has started acting weird, initially I thought it could be some system/driver-related issue (it started after I've upgraded the OS) but now I'm quite convinced my 828 is slowly dying.I'm also in contact with tech support, but I don't think we'll be able to resolve this.So I was thinking of buying an 828mkIII, either FW or Hybrid. Unleash Drive Performance In the past, daisy chaining external storage required you to place it as close to the front of the chain for the fastest and most reliable performance.I'm wondering if it's possible to daisy-chain my two Dell U2417H monitors with my MacBook Pro (2019 - 16 inch), which has 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports.It's not like the 20 year guarantee on a Bryston power amp.The other reason for the Hybrid is that FW support is hanging on for its life at Apple. These units get old (knock on wood!). This is no longer available for the mkII as you have probably been told.By cruising these boards, you will see that, on occasion, power supply, FW jack and screen issues have been problems.
Daisy Chain Usb Pro 2017 UsingIt showed up in CueMix, but I got an "insufficient bandwidth" warning. I connected it via FW to the mk2 with a direct connection to the macpro. (Daisy chaining it to the other mk2 was unreliable.)I ran into a bandwidth issue when I added a third and final 828mk2. And I have the other mk2 connected via FW directlyn to the macpro. I have one mk2 daisy chained into the mk3. So I have the 828Mk3 connected via FW800 to my macpro. The weird whine has disappeared. (That creates a second FW bus via PCI does it not?) However, the units are not picked up when I plug them into that card.Nk_e wrote.At this point, I have now connected each unit to the macpro via a separate FW cable. I just posted the experience in the hope that it is helpful.* - I also have a Sonnet FW 800 card installed. App for my mac to scan a documentRestoring the bus requires resetting the PRAM/NV RAM.The sonnet does not require a driver. It doesn't matter the brand—or rather I never found one where it worked. Does it use a TI chip set or another? Does Sonnet require a driver?I don't know of any Mac that has more than one FW bus no matter how many ports.One thing I found on my G4, G5 and iMac is that a FW hub will crash the bus when used with my 828mkII. The Sonnet should see your 828. (That creates a second FW bus via PCI does it not?) However, the units are not picked up when I plug them into that card.Interesting. Long story short (too late): It appears everything is working.* - I also have a Sonnet FW 800 card installed.
