The Thumb Drive RAID Experiment

RL: http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews05/ar...umbraid&file=1


Quote: The idea of a thumb drive RAID array might not be practical for every day needs, but it is a novel idea that could be of benefit to some people. For one, owners of mini-ITX systems that boot from a flash drive might be interested in the sizable speed burst a RAID 0 array could provide... In the end, results were achieved that showed great promise for thumb drive RAID arrays.

Mac = unix.

Cool experiments, but I have my doubs about the functionality of it.

Speed ? You are still limitet to the USB bus passthrough.
Data security ? Maybe, but there are better ways
