Alternate has a product with 6 SDHC cards.

Not sure what the performance of this device will be.

Yes, using SanDisk Extreme cards, or the golden Panasonic cards you will have a both fast and reliable system. RAID can use parallelism of multiple drive to increase performance. And a fast card uses parallelism on the multiple flash devices on board. But this combination may still be a slower than a native SSD drive using parallelism on 16 flash devices because in this case parallelism isn't restricted within a card.

I'm not really sure what market these products are targeting. They appear cheap, but when including fast and reliable storage cards they cost more than a reliable SSD drive. Perhaps they want to target people who still have a large stock of cards, but that's got to be a niche. Most likely they want to sell a product that offers people cheap solid state storage, without the reliability risk of selling cheap storage. If things go wrong, they can always point at the cheap cards you've purchased yourself as the cause of the drives unreliability.
