Call them crazy or brilliant, but either way, a bunch of IT students at Carrol College have successfully created possibly the first 13 floppy drive striped RAID drive.
They first tried using a Windows XP machine, but that old technology must have been just too advanced for Microsoft’s easy operating system to handle so the IT crew moved on to an old iBook. OS X had no problems handling the 13 drives and within a few clicks, there sat on the desktop a floppy disk icon that could hold more then 17MB of data! With a transfer rate of 17KB, this baby will fill up its capacity in no time.
The team is going to modernize a bit and try ZIP drives next. SvenOnTech dares them to make a RAID set up via thumb drives!
