esata
D2 Quadra (2T)
firewire 800
D2 Quadra (2T)
firewire 800
D2 Quadra (2T)

After looking D2 Quadra (2T) features, I understand what you want to do.

It will be possible only if the firmware is able to detect the other disks plugged on the firewire ports of your D2 Quadra (2T).

You need to make a test to check this

I expect it won't work... There was a chance with a firewire (direct USB) but the firmware can not see the events on the USB port on your D2 Quadra

Solved with a little hub and two usb A-B :-)
Now raid 5 works.

I only hope send me short usb cable quickly. LOL
