Me and a friend have an idea for a really useless cluster(I'm not revealing the awesomeness of this idea) for which this RAID might be useful. Too bad it won't work for very long if data is actually continuously written to the array. However, with our plan, that would not be an issue. Snicker snicker..

So someone built a RAID with USB sticks as the storage medium. This is a totally useless and yet (embarrassingly) totally cool thing to do.

Awesome / Funny tutorial. I think Flash HD's will render RAID somewhat obsolete.

Cool linux raid array with USB thumb drives.

Actually, if you used four 4GB sticks, you could be talking a reasonable OS drive, maybe. Only 480Mb/sec, though :( Are 200GB flash memory hard drives here, yet? ;)

Making raid out of (some) usb drives using a usb hub and some linux device management tricks.

Although performance could be improved by not using a usb hub.

If nothing else, it's a real way to play around with software RAID without requiring hard drives. Amusing nonetheless.
