The iPod Shuffle RAID

Saturday, Feb. 5 2005 | Author: jeremy

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

So what can you do with 4 1gb iPod Shuffles, a USB 2.0 hub and way too much free time?

Stripe them together and create a RAID, of course.

My original intent was to actually install OS X on the RAID and boot from that, but the OS X (Panther, 10.3.5) Installer wouldn’t allow installation onto the RAID array, either as a Strip or Mirror set.

I am not really sure what good a 4gb RAID is, especially with only a USB 2.0 connection. But hey, to each his own.

Share and Enjoy

You wouldnt get 4 gigs use out of it if its in mirror (2 gigs) and if you want to ensure that a single failier wont cost anything dont you do striping with parity? (I believe that eould leave 3 gigs)

I find it pretty meaningless to be using a RAID if your data won’t even become any more safe for the fact.

For $600 you’d spend on that setup, you could get like a 1tb Firewire drive… Hm….
