Raiding a USB chain possible?
A friend of mine brought up an interesting idea I haven't been able to really find much information about. Essentially he proposed getting many harddrives, say 10, and using sata-2-usb connectors on the rear(I believe each brick would then need an external power source), and then using software raid to jbod the usb chained harddrives.
How feasable an idea is this? I'm assuming it would go pretty slow, but if it is merely for mass storage, a certain slowness would be tolerable..
