  • In that realm, there’s not a whole lot we can without actual touch with current tech.

    We have handheld Portable X-Rays that are about the size of an old digital camera, but you’d probably want something with the resolution of an MR, and the smallest of those at current is about the size of a large trashcan (which is still pretty cool).

    If you include basic contact with the device, we can detect Blood Oxygen, Glucose, 12-lead equivalent EKG, some hormones, some infections (rapid detection for cutaneous), and some level of internal imaging with handheld Ultrasound (low-res but live).










  • Having the disks connected externally is the same as having them connected internally

    No, it 1000% is not, especially in the case of USB that I used. Even in the way Linux handles everything as a file and target, it is vastly different.

    No RAID solution I know of would lose the array on a power outage

    Hardware RAID enclosures have batteries on the disk controllers for this very reason. We aren’t talking about those though, we’re talking about software RAID on JBOD, which wouldn’t have those sanity protections. Here’s some random blog explaining deeper.

    Honestly I don’t see how interrupt handling would be any different between internally or externally connected devives, except for different buses/protocols handling it differently intrinsicly

    See above

    Maybe I’m too spolied by using ZFS, but again I don’t think this would actually be a problem

    That’s a filesystem solution to a hardware problem, so yes, probably a bit spoiled there, or at least it’s skewing your understanding of what RAID is and how it works. One of the reasons ZFS exists, actually. It’s nice to have nice things though.
