Why doesn't someone just combine multiple of those extremely small USB stick into a single 1tb stick with software RAID0? That way you could have a 1tb USB stick internally made up of four 256GB ones for cheap while still not being that big.

Cost effectiviness, write cycles, stuff like that. You can actually do what you are saying, should you want to try it.
Creating the setup sounds like a LOT more cost than just buying a 2TB hard drive, for a less-impressive result.
Why don't you just buy an SSD? It's essentially what you're asking for.
you've some how just created something more unreliable than an SSD, good job.
It'd cost more, be stupidly large and slow as fuck. Just get a fucking SSD.

Do you want to lose all your data? Because that's how you lose all your data.
>RAID 0
Because flash drives weren't unreliable enough.
USB sticks are unreliable on their own, and you wanna get like 8 of them together and just pray not even one breaks
B-But my music library is 6Tb why would i want just an expensive 1Tb ....

You can definitely do this on Linux. O. Windows you need to get the OS to class the drives are removable disks rather than flash storage other wise storage spaces won't work.
Raiding a bunch of them is a cool idea if you want to move data securely say into another country. They won't know what you've done with them and they aren't going to even know the order of the drives in the array even if they did
Restore the backup. No big deal.
I like memory sticks. I've got a whole collection and always carry one around.
No clue why though, because I literally never actually use them, or need them, for anything. Even taking data from work to home I'd rather just webdav it to my provider's storage. Far more trustworthy.
It's not cheap. And you need at least RAID5 or 6 for it to not suck completely. Which, sure, can be done fine on the same Linux SW RAID. But even then you're still worse off than with a 1TB SSD.
Apart from that, you probably don't need a high-ish latency 1TB storage, just do 20x10TB HDD for storing the tiny bit of the internet you care about and some 64 or 128gb SSD for your Linux distro if you're not running on less anyhow.
That was the backup.
restore the backup of the backup

Good news, turns out the raid0 array was combined in a raid1 array with another usb raid0 array.
pff. I bet you spend money on stuff like insurances too.
