What is daisy chaining?

same question as the topic

Daisy chaining is like the old parallel port printer and scanner where the scanner plugged into the port and then the printer connected to the scanner. USB and SCSI also can make use of this method.

SATA (or at least SATA2) does/will, although current drives don't have ports for daisy chaining.

Yep... it just means rigging multiple devices up on a single pathway. And if you are referring to the review on the Xaser case, it is talking about hooking up multiple fans to a single power source to form a "chain".

yeah im talking about the Xaser case review, how could i daisy chain my fans?

[Wiggo]

By usin' pass thru molex connectors. :cheers:

[t00lb0x]

uh could you explain a little more or give me a link (there is so much to learn and so little time to learn it)

[Wiggo]

Here's a pic of both ends of the one I just happen to have handy as I don't have a handy link atm.

[t00lb0x]

is it possible to use that (daisy chain 2 fans) and still get their individual RPM? what would i need? oh for daisy chaning so rheobus->fan A->pass thru molex connectors->fan B ??? is that correct?

[Wiggo]

Gee ya lucky that I have a digicam handy plus the parts to make these so here's a pic of what ya may need. :D

[t00lb0x]

that helps a bit but.. IM STILL CONFUSED!!! and wiggo thanks for being so helpful almost anywhere else and I would be banned b/c "you ask to many questions"

[Wiggo]

Hey I don't mind questions (so long as they ain't stupid ones) and I'll use that part sometime soon anyway.

[t00lb0x]

i mean, can you explain what plugs into waht?

[Darthtanion]

Just take note that there is a male end and a female end. Think of anatomy and the rest of the story should fall into place. From there, just hook up one end to a power supply and you're finished.

i see that but then there is the big molex...that is what is throwing me
**edit**
your asking a 14 year old about the *birds and the bees* thats smart
