Kind of a wild idea: Flash card raid array for n810?

Ok, this is sort of a silly idea, but here goes. Right now SDHC has a limit of 32gb on any card that is used in an SDHC capable device. So anything that comes out in 64gb flavor will be SDXC. But with the n810's, if memory serves me right, SDXC support can be achieved with a simple patch, which means that once the standard is finalized, we should be able to, in theory, build ourselves a raid array and start doing some 128gb or larger drive arrays for our nits.
And it wouldn't be too hard. Using the metal cover that the SD mod guy developed, a simple raid controller, and likely an SD card controller, plus 4 SD slot holders, or up to (not saying we'll go this high, but it's possible) 16 microsd slot holders on a single card that could fit under that cover and provide a potentially HUGE storage potential to the device.
Now I know it's not possible to do right now. But it may be in the near future. Thus I figured to throw this out there and get everyone kicking it around in case everything does come together to allow us to do this.
