I'm considering making a raid0+1 array out of 4 x 250GB USB drives using
gmirror and gstripe on a FreeBSD 5.3 box.

Questions:

1) Has anybody done this?  What should I watch our for?
2) Stripe then mirror right? (or mirror then stripe? Does it matter?)

(I already have a 600gb stripe set on this machine made out of two 300gb
drives)
