My computers HD crashed again and I have to reinstall everything. Recently,
these USB flash drives are getting quite reasonable and I began to think how
nice it would be if I could used them as a boot drive instead the traditional
head thrashers. I was looking at the 3.5 inch dead HD and perhaps you could fit
about a dozen of those USB flash drives into a case. Then, with a onboard raid
controller, it could stripe it to create a large LUN. Of course this is all
speculation. I've not run into such a animal while googling.
