USB hard drive RAID?

[ayu]

Can I connect two USB external hard drives to my computer, and raid them?

I am going to buy this when it comes out:

Code: Select all

And I need to connect hard drives via USB (gonna build myself a tiny backup server).

Fucking awesome device btw, you should all get one.

haha yeah something like that.
That page was pretty funny as well ^^

Then, command your sticks to regroup into a RAID device. IMHO there's no difference between the coolness of different RAID levels: no matter which one you choose for your server, it tells equally good a story about the extent of your social life. So in the following we create (-C) verbosely (-v) a device (/dev/md0) with RAID level 5 (-l=5) out of three (-n=3) devices uba1, ubb1, and ubc1. Tell yourself, THIS ROCKS!

Thanks man, I'll give that a try ^^

This is a great experiment to learn RAID. I think its cute, but the thought process for building a RAID is all there.
