  Care to share any details? Curious how you actually set up the access to the array (like just plug in a bunch of USB microsd readers and wrote a driver to handle the array itself?) as well as the config you used for the array, like which raid mode and most importantly, if striping, if you matched the stripe size to the microsd read block size. A mismatch would result in poor performance, though I could also see it performing poorly even if it was set up ideally, though in theory an ideal setup should have been able to get 20x the throughput for large continuous reads and writes, though random access and latency wouldn’t improve. It also requires the bus(es) the USBs are on to support the total saturated throughput, though I don’t expect you got anywhere close to saturating the USB link (unless maybe you did on pretty old hardware).
