I don't remember. If it will not work (why, really?) then I will stop using it and reformat both cards. But at least I'm going to try.

It wasn't that it wouldn't work, it was that it was just pointless as there would be no speed gained at all.

OK, I promise to post my benchmarksYou never know until you make a benchmark, like with bonnie++, or kernel copying or even kernel compilation times (which is HDD hungry too).

You probably expect to double your drive performance by a RAID-0.
However, there would not be any performance gains.
1) There are no "seek times" to minimize if you're using solid state.
2) IIRC, We've received word from the team that the two SD ports can not operate simultaneously because they're connected to the same bus. So you'd still be reading the data off one piece at a time. You'd just be alternating cards for no good reason.
Also, this poll is missing options. Where do I click if I intend to keep my second port free, so it's usable as a removable media drive? (For pulling pictures off my camera, etc.)

OMG! I forgot!

I think a big problem here is what if you accidently pop out one of the SD cards and break/corrupt your RAID?cosurgi said:Hi, this poll speaks for itself. I made it out of curiosity. Happy voting
I personally plan to make RAID0 on two 16 GB cardsThis will give me 32GB storage with theoretical speed of 40 MB/sec.

Too many votes now for another option to make any sense.
RAID0 *may* make a small improvement, as you could request data from the second card whilst waiting for the data from the first card to complete. In practice however, I expect there to be very little difference. Feel free to prove us wrong however.
