Daisy chaining a Thunderbolt 3 hard drive to a Thunderbolt 2 hard drive

Hi there.


I am looking to aisy chain a Thunderbolt 3 (TB3) hard drive to a Thunderbolt 2 (TB2) hard drive (from my M2 MBP) and wanted to know if this is possible. Both hard drives are powered by mains adapter.


My setup would be as follows: MBP connected to the Thunderbolt 3 hard drive (with thunderbolt 3 cable), then from the second port on the TB3 HD, I would use the 'apple TB3 to TB2 adapter' to connect to the TB2 Hard drive via a TB2 cable


Would this work? I thought best to ask here before buying the new TB3 hard drive


Many thanks
