JMcron RAID JMcron RAID Introducton JMcron JMB363 offers RAID level 0 (Strpng), RAID level 1 (Mrrorng and Duplexng) and JBOD (Concatenate). RAID 0 breaks the data nto blocks whch are wrtten to separate hard drves. Spreadng the hard drve I/O load across ndependent channels greatly mproves I/O performance. RAID 1 provdes data redundancy by mrrorng data between the hard drves and pro- vdes enhanced read performance. -
