SanDisk's little microSD card sucks up 400GB

I'm not sure how good that would be, cost wise:

10x $249 for 4000 GB raw storage = $2490

+ $~45 for the adapter board, plus shipping = $2535

Or you could buy a pair of 2 TB Crucial MX300 SSDs for half that and raid 0 them either using an appropriate sata controller or software raid0, and still have money left over for a proper data backup device.

Performance wise, you'd probably hit the 3 Gbps ceiling that the sata spec that board uses before you'd run out of bandwidth on the cards for read speed.
