Daniel Blade Olson has created a unique project called “Floppy RAID,” which combines five 3.5″ floppy drives into a redundant disk array. However, this setup does not offer any benefits in terms of speed or data security. The usable space is limited to just 3.9MB, and the transfer speed is quite slow. Nonetheless, Olson is proud of his accomplishment, as he was able to transfer a 3.6MB song in just 32 seconds. He obtained returned USB floppy drives from his workplace and connected them to his iMac to create the RAID using OS X’s Disk Utility. Olson plans to continue exploring this concept, with future projects including a RAID made from 127 floppy drives. Overall, this project is clever and amusing, but not very practical.
