Flash drive spanning?

Post by drjayphd » Sat Aug 29, 2009 9:30 pm

Any way to get my computer to recognize, say, four flash drives plugged into a hub as one combined drive? Need it for a, ahem, project... (I'm using XP, but I'll probably upgrade to Win7 later.)

make sure the drives are contiguous and have the same stripe size. other than that I'm not really sure. I've never tried to setup a USB span.

That's what I'm hoping. It'd be a waste to stick one drive in a videotape, unless I was using it as an enclosure.

USB drives don't have the throughput and data transfer speed to support a raid configuration.
