most of the usb3 drives I've seen do not daisy chain.

Thnaks for the thought,
As with everything nowadays, budget is very low. Also we are shooting a documentary for 3 months through Africa and will be traveling in 2 4x4 vehicles and camping so space is limited.
The idea is to have 3 sets of Lacie 1.5tb rugged drives. 12 drives, 4drives in each set. Connect them via Lacie USB 3 ExpressCard to Macbook Pro 17.
Each set of drives will be in 2 different vehicles at all times. A third drive will be mailed home at different locations.
The reason for the Lacie drives is because they are protected since we will be going through rough terrain.
I am just wondering what will be the safest software to use for copying, etc
Shotput Pro or can Adobe Prelude do similar and copy to multi destinations.
Thanks

Also, if you're transferring a lot of data you will be doing yourself a massive favour by taking drives with e-Sata connectivity. Be careful with the rugged drives, they are supposed to be bus powered but often i find that they are not and need the additional USB power cable plugged in, they also get REAL hot on long transfers. If you're transferring from CF card or the like then look in to getting an e-sata card reader, as slow USB card readers are the bottleneck often. Sonnet do a really expensive one called Qio but for much less Addonics also do an e-sata CF card reader. HTH,
