ok but does linux software raid over USB have any caveats?

I have no reason to believe it would be anymore different than windows and macOS. Also, isn't raid configuration done in the motherboard bios instead of the operating system?

Sudo make me a sandwich

USB software RAID should be fine since it's handled by the OS. The only downside I can think of is if you're using flash drives.

Yeah iv seen people discuss SSD features not accessible via USB adapter. Things like erasing and setting reserve size
