Orthrus – SD card secure RAID USB storage
Nick Sayer @ hackaday.io build a SD card RAID USB storage board. He writes: This project is a hardware mechanism to provide secure "two man control" over a data store. It is a USB microSD card reader, but it requires two cards. The data is striped in the style of RAID 0, but the data...
