Posted September 26, 2015 Ive seen better but by like $2. Go for it if you need it. Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Current Newegg Deal: ADATA USB 3.0 128GB Flash drive. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211868 Someone should load their usb 3.0 PC with a whole bunch of those in RAID 5 and see what the break even price/performance would be to an SSD. I would imagine that using them in raid 0 would be too unreliable. Perhaps something for @LinusTech to try?

Posted September 26, 2015 Someone should load their usb 3.0 PC with a whole bunch of those in RAID 5 and see what the break even price/performance would be to an SSD. I would imagine that using them in raid 0 would be too unreliable. Perhaps something for @LinusTech to try? It has been done before and ive seen people get 2GB/s Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 26, 2015 Author Someone should load their usb 3.0 PC with a whole bunch of those in RAID 5 and see what the break even price/performance would be to an SSD. I would imagine that using them in raid 0 would be too unreliable. Perhaps something for @LinusTech to try? I like the way you think. It'd be a fun little experiment.

Posted September 27, 2015 i just got a nice 128 for around the same price. It's just amazing how much lower the cost of usb storage is now. However, i can't really see usb drives being around much longer. I give it a couple of years until we look at them like we do optical drives. It's a thing you might have, but something that you rarely if ever use. ︻デ┳═ー - - - - === = -٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that using them in raid 0 would be too unreliable. Perhaps something for @LinusTech to try? Wouldn't work on Windows though because Disk Manager doesn't support external raid :'(. I've been able to natively do usb flashdrive raid 0 on linux though, read speeds hopped up from 12MB/s before raid to 18MB/s in raid (the flash drives are generic anyway, I've been able to get 20MB/s out of a single Sandisk USB2.0 drive, and 50MB/s out of a Datatraveler G3 usb3.0 drive) Speedtests WiFi - 7ms, 22Mb down, 10Mb up Ethernet - 6ms, 47.5Mb down, 9.7Mb up Rigs Spoiler Type Desktop OS Windows 10 Pro CPU i5-4430S RAM 8GB CORSAIR XMS3 (2x4gb) Cooler LC Power LC-CC-97 65W Motherboard ASUS H81M-PLUS GPU GeForce GTX 1060 Storage 120GB Sandisk SSD (boot), 750GB Seagate 2.5" (storage), 500GB Seagate 2.5" SSHD (cache) Spoiler Type Server OS Ubuntu 14.04 LTS CPU Core 2 Duo E6320 RAM 2GB Non-ECC Motherboard ASUS P5VD2-MX SE Storage RAID 1: 250GB WD Blue and Seagate Barracuda Uses Webserver, NAS, Mediaserver, Database Server Quotes of Fame On 8/27/2015 at 10:09 AM, Drixen said: Linus is light years ahead a lot of other YouTubers, he isn't just an average YouTuber.. he's legitimately, legit.

Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days.
