Oh, I know that something like that 'works' just fine plugged into a desktop (although once you add up the cost of the USB sticks you're still probably better in both $ and performance to spend the same on a high end SSD). But many people may not realize how much of the heavy lifting the PC is doing, rather than the drives. The topic originally came up in the context of a RAID solution for better write performance for the camera. I wouldn't want someone thinking they can get that sort of thing working plugged into their BMPCC4K.
I'm still curious if the camera can use an external RAID box as a 'drive'.
