From our front-page news:
When adding a RAID card into your PC, chances are good that you care a lot about performance, or reliability. Well, I'm not sure how to take this one. Addonics Technologies has just released a $50 PCI RAID card... that allows you to plug in up to four CompactFlash cards. Of course this is not supposed to be a performance option, but it sounds more like a solution for those who have a lot of old CompactFlash cards lying around who just can't bare to throw them away. With prices of CompactFlash, you might as well just purchase a second hard-drive if extra space is all you care about.

The adapter here is the cheap part. If you want a solid amount of flash storage, the costs quickly go up. For example, an 8GB Lexar 300x UDMA card costs about $170. Multiply by four and you're looking at $680 for 32GB raw capacity, and less if you configure the RAID to protect your data.
