- jdietrich 8y agoThere's nothing wrong with the adapter per se, it's just that MicroSD cards have terrible random I/O performance.
- beatgammit 8y agoI was thinking it would be cool as a small NAS with a mirror. I want to put my movies and photos on it, and having a huge mirror is very useful for that type of workload. I could drive it with a cheap ARM device, which should allow me to stream a 4k video over the network, provided my network is the bottleneck. So yeah, I'm very much interested in this device.
- rhinoceraptor 8y agoWhy not just use an actual 2.5" SSD instead of a bunch of SD cards in a terrible quality adapter? At least with the SSD, you only have one microcontroller doing god-knows-what to hide the horrific reality of flash storage, vs 10 SD card microcontrollers and one on the adapter board, which are all probably even worse.
- asveikau 8y agoNot just performance. Reliability and data loss are also bad. All of these adapters do raid-0, which means any one card failure (very common, I have seen it a lot in my personal devices) will damage the volume. As I have a lot of odd SD cards unused in drawers I would be more interested in these adapters if they exposed every card as its own drive so I could do ZFS, or if they did "real" raid.
- durkie 8y agogood lord he's unwatchable. skip to 7:00 for something somewhat real.
- cptskippy 8y agoYes, he is hard to watch and they have useful information in their reviews. It's hard.
