So i just recently looked in my box that i keep usbs in and found out that i have like 10 64 gig usb 3.0 drives from collection and dont know what to do with them. Could i put them in raid and make it a huge 640 gig SSD? With a usb hub of course.

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

yes

I do recommend making it two raids over two usb 3.0 hubs and then raiding those

Would doing this even give you a Reliable Drive at all? This is pretty intresting to try out though if i had a bunch of USBs and some spare time i didnt know what to do with haha

never heard of a dead USB drive being commonplace. And I said over two hubs because one hub my be a bottleneck

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I meant more like the Setup of windows correctly Raiding all the USBs on both Hubs then Raiding them both together all the time and what happens if you connect and disconnect one bi accidentally and such.  but on the other hand i have SD cards die on me all the time due to Heavyish writing to them have a Dashcam in my car Records 1080P with a accident sensor that permanently saves what happens, Cheaper ones seem to only a couple months and regular priced ones lasting less than a year. i drive probably 20 hours a week so thats really only 3 hours a day but compared to what normal people use them that is a lot
