Is getting this and 10 micro sd cards worth it?
It's only sata 2.6, but it still seems like a great deal for a cheap high capacity ssd with decent performance.

Unless you can have raid among the cards, any one SD failing will put you in grave. Buy two and put the whole sata virtual drives in a raid at least.
Fuck no
Do the maths and see how much it would cost, then realise it'd be slower than an SSD for a higher cost and kill yourself

>240gb Kingston ssd for $130
>10* 32gb sd cards + this raid micro sd board for $140
I did the maths.
>>51803201
The sd cards will all be in raid. It's built in.
Only concern is the "does not support uhs 1", but I think that just might be the speed, so it'll just read the card at a lower speed.

>>240gb Kingston ssd for $130
Wut
>>51803345
Eh, my local pc store sells them for 300 dollars.
>>51803415
130 dollars*
Fuck, sorry. It's pretty late here and I'm tired.

In fact it's neither. Lesson of the day: go to bed before buying shit.

Msy isn't my local pc store though.
Forgot you might not be an ausfag.
It's like an hour drive with all the shitty traffic, I'd rather just pay the extra from my local pc shop unless I'm picking up a bunch of things together.

no

Choose one only

This is a horrible idea. MicroSD cards are made to be low quality. Micro-controllers in the MicroSDs allow them to just about get by using the shit quality flash cells they're can be with.

nah
even the cheapest ssd will be faster and more reliable than this
I can get 10 x 32gb micro SD cards for 7.60 each, if I put them into that what will the transfer speeds be like? They aren't high end cards so it's the average 35-40 mb/s, but with 10 of them in RAID 0 what can I expect realistically?
That would be a 320gb drive for the price of a 250gb.
>>51803099
>No trim support
Worthless
>>51804827
>That would be a 320gb drive
if you want any kind of overprovisioning at, let's say, 10%, you only got a 288GB drive made up of superslow SD-cards.
useless.
>>51804848
Yeah I suppose it is... This just seemed like a nice idea.
>>51804848
But they're in raid, so they're not slow anymore? Plus I can get 32gb sd cards for $10.50, which will give me 320gb storage for the same price as a 240gb ssd?
And wouldn't micro SD cards use less power? If I get this for a laptop.

Bumpd :')

Fuck off already.
The idea is BAD, and you should feel BAD.
>>51803099
Kinda want to buy one of these now to see how shit it is.
Stop this nonsense.
