When you daisy chain two thunderbolt drives, does it just increase the size of the first drive or does it add another drive ?
I would like to have a drive that I use for my itunes library and when it becomes full it would be very convenient to be able to just add another drive in daisy chain so that it increases the size of the whole setup so that I can keep using the same drive in itunes without having to replace the drive with one of more capacity.
Thank you.
Each drive is seen independently. If you are concerned about the size of your library, then purchase high capacity HD's. 6TB drives are currently available.

For most getting a larger external hard drive and keeping everything in one library is the best solution.
For some having multiple libraries and keeping different libraries on different external hard drives works well.

Adding that: which ever way you decide to go, you should always have a good "backup" of your Library or Libraries.
IS there any way at all to merge two daisy chained drives?

Nope, thats the point we are trying to drive home.
No.
If you plan on keeping everything together in a single iTunes Library, then you need a drive large enough to hold it all.
