[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1563633, member: 46727"] I doubt your PRAM battery is bad or low since your machine is a 2010 model. I've always been reluctant to daisy chain drives whether they be firewire, SCSI, or what have you. The reason is that a problem with one or more of the drives or cables can cause damaging current flow through the chain. While it may not damage the drives themselves it can cause a problem with the main board (logic board). I would make an appointment with your local Apple Genius bar and have them run diagnostics. There shouldn't be a charge for that provided you go to a genuine Apple store not an authorized Apple repair service. [/QUOTE]
