JBOD
Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) refers to a group of hard drives. In JBOD, the
number of logical drives is equal to the number of physical drives. This mode
allows the RAID System to operate as a multi-disk storage enclosure, but
provides no data redundancy.
Due to the chipset limitations, only cold hot swap is allowed in JBOD mode.
Therefore, the RAID System must be powered off when replacing any of the
HDDs in the System.
The eSATA interface cannot support the JBOD mode. It is only available
when connecting under the USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800 interfaces.
Due to the chipset design, when performing JBOD and only one HDD is
used, always insert it into the HDD 2 of the HDD slots.
