Raid0 by daisy chaining 4 WDC Thunderbolt MyBooks

I like new. I did notice that these drives are $799 each, so we’re looking at $3,200 in drives plus the cables. Somebody mentioned $400 in cables. If that’s true, were looking at an investment of $3,600 for a raid zero array. Interesting, but I think the drives need to come down a bit…

It’s all good, Walter.

Yes, there are risks and I went over them. A promise array doesn’t guarantee data security either. A blown power supply or raid card to take one of those out just as easily.

Machines fail.

4 of these enclosures at raid0 is risky, 2 of these drive at raid10 is not so risky, and actually sort of practical for some people, which is why I decided to post here. Silly me.

Tech demos serve to show you what is possible with the technology. A smart person will see that demo and figure out the best real world way to utilize it.

Supposedly, ginsu knives can cut an aluminum can, and then skin a tomato in the same motion.

It is up to me to figure out if I will be ingesting aluminum bits in my tomato sauce, or not.

Hopefully everyone still has a sense of humor.
