Default How to Daisy Chain 3rd Drive

I've got two FW drives currently hooked up to my imac. These are for audio files; one is main storage and the other is backup. i plan to get a 3rd drive to use exclusively as storage for my sound libraries. where should i put this drive in the chain? does it matter? the imac has 2 fw ports, but i use one for the digi 003. thanks.

Put the 3rd drive right after the 2 audio drives. Works fine for me.

One for audio, one for sound files ( such as Quantum) and maybe one for video.

In my case, I have 1 for audio, another for backing up sessions, or using video on a separate drive, and bouncing to disk onto that drive. The 3rd one is for sample libraries.
