USB stick RAID in ACTION!

[Mr. Analog]

RAIDs (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive [sic] Disks) are considered pretty handy for a number of things. This is an example of productive and practical use of a RAID. Granted, this project does not have the archaic grandeur of a Floppy Disk RAID, but then again, the capacity and performance of this system are utterly superior to those of a Floppy Disk RAID. The following is meant as an instruction sheet of how to build a rock-hard USB stick RAID system and simultaneously transform from an ordinary nerd to a SUPER LINUX GURU.

Conclusion
As RAID technology is meant only for serious computer-wizards who know stuff, the USB stick RAID will, unfortunately, remain a curiosity in the field of computing. Pity, especially if one considers the almost endless productive uses that this face-meltingly-fast technology could be harnessed for. Pack in the almost endless capacity, and you have a cool fault-tolerant data storage device.
