Will there be heat issues if there is constant reading/writing to drives as in a recording studio enviornment?

I am using it in a recording studio environment and have not noticed any meaningful heat. It is in a rack with no space above it, it dies have space below it.

Is there a speed decrease when daisy-chaining two MultiDocks?

Thunderbolt can handle 20 Mbps. You can daisychain up to 7 devices. You will not be able to slow down (except maybe 5K screens)

Without a fan, is this a good enclosure for external storage/backup setup?

I use it as a hot-swap bay for video production. However, I see no reason you couldn't use it in this configuration.However, I'd be cautious of extended read/write durations. I know that my SSDs get quite warm after pulled in 50+ 100-200GB of raw video.

Can i connect to multiple macs at the same time?

Actually, if you had more than one SSD in this unit, you can hook up ONE other Mac: The way to gain access to the SSD you need on the secondary machine is to "Eject" the SSD in question from the other Mac, which would "release" that SSD for a secondary machine. I've only done this with a pair of 3720QMA Mini's. A better-use scenario would be to turn on file sharing and share whatever drives you want. I recommended Gb ethernet in this case. Better yet, buy two of these units and fill 'em up with 7 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSDs. You'll thank me later. TB2 is fine. Grab a couple APPLE TB2-TB3 dongle-daptors.
