[SATLUG] Software RAID over USB 2.0

[Jonathan Hull]

I believe all the USB ports on most systems share bandwidth over the
USB bus (might be wrong), thus it would probably not work too well.
Maybe if you had a USB drive, a firewire drive, and an eSATA it would
work better... heh. Better off getting a 4 port SATA controller and 4
cheap SATA (or eSATA) and doing that.
