Let's say... Good luck. I am experimenting raid1 and raid5 over firewire, which is by far much more stable (in terms of bandwidth) than usb2. According to the tests I made, benchmarking usb2 and firewire makes usb2 dangerous to use : connection hangs, bus collision is somewhat hasardous, bandwidth is not really granted. Technically, it is really possible : you will have your usb2 drives accessible as scsi drives, put your raid on them, test them. But sincerely, good luck.
