RAID 0 with CompactFlash cards

[badger]

Got two CF cards and I'm looking to get IDE adapters for them so I can use striping and make 'em into one big hard disk. I've seen adapters that take two cards, but I assume they'd need to be on separate channels if I wanted to use RAID? Any recommendations for an IDE RAID controller card (preferably something that's Vista-compatible) ?

Bear in mind, if flash cards in essence 'crash' you loose all data or if they break... you cant restore the data. Unless things have changed now.

Yeah I know, but these are decent SanDisk CF cards and I'm not going to be storing anything vital on there.

this will be much slower than a disk

[badger]

Yep, I know. But which RAID card should I get?

Erm, why bother? It'll be cheaper and faster just to get disks.
