I am building a cluster of the 4GB RPis with SSD for a personal cloud and so far the 2 I have are awesome

Please write up a blog when you have it fully working. I'm mostly interested in which STAT to USB cable you pick. Also power consumption in general :)

I haven't written a blog, but I do have a 5 node RaspberryPi cluster running Docker Swarm. The docker stacks and compose files are on GitHub https://github.com/jmb12686/raspi-docker-stacks

Look at the 'gluster' branch for my current active work on clustered persistent storage using SSDs and docker volume plugins.

I have setup quite a few GitHub projects for building / publishing multiarchitecture ARM compatible images of open source projects (Elasticsearch, Kibana, CAdvisor, etc). Check them out if interested in running common tools on RaspberryPis.

How are you hooking up the SSDs?

USB to SATA cable and the SATA drives are small enough that they can sit inside the rack I bought for the Pis for now even though I'll eventually have to get them their own rack or something
