JBOD?

JBOD?
JBOD stands for "Just a Bunch of Disks" and normally refers to one or more physical drives working independently. The AMD SB700 controller offers the added feature of concatenation, where the capacity of multiple drives is added together. When one drive is full, the data is saved to the next drive automatically. As independent physical drives, JBOD does not offer the performance or security advantages of RAID logical drives. However, in RAIDXpert, 3 you create, manage, and delete a JBOD the same as a logical drive. You can designate from two to four physical drives with online capacity expansion. If you attach a single physical drive that was previously partitioned, RAIDXpert will recognize it as a JBOD. However, RAIDXpert does not allow you to create a single-drive JBOD.
