    Boredom I believe was the root of the evil thoughts bouncing around in his twisted little brain.

    His company sells those floppy drives and he was bored one day. can you imagine how secure the data is considering how fragile the media is to start with and now you have four times the chance to lose all 6mb of your most valuable data (which I am sure you would choose to store on your high speed floppy disk array right?) thats what? Like 20 or 30 good porn pics flushed right down the drain? LMAO

    Haha, crazy.

    Just a note, it doesn't look like RAID 0 - he says he doesn't know himself, but 4 or 5 drives came out to 4.2mb, the size of 3, so there's gotta be some parity going on. This man knows how to keep his pr0n :)

    You are a very sick puppy my friend. There are drugs these days that can help you. If you don't want the drugs GET THEM and I'll trade you used usb 2.0 cdrw drives for the drugs. I see raid-0 cd-rw in your future my friend.

    Stay away from the mail sniffing dogs when you send my package.... wink, wink, wink....

    Well I was about to put a bunch of old 1 GB drives in RAID, but this guy totally one-upped me. His ghetto-RAID skills are massive. :respect:
