RAID 0 boot drive using.....compact flash cards?!!!

[joxang]

I just came across this thing. Never even heard of the like before.

It's an adaptor where you plug in two compact flash cards into a 2.5" frame. Configured in RAID 0, system recognises it as a normal HD and it's bootable.

Anyone come across this, or any information about performance? I'm tempted to get one and give it a go just for the novelty value!!

That's right up there with putting an electric turbocharger on your car

Just checked out much compactflash cards cost.

60-90mb/s versions are more expensive per gig than SSDs!! RAIDing them might theoretically double the performance but there might be other issues too.

There goes my ghetto SSD pipe dream
