Jbod Mode - Vantec NexStar MX User Manual

JBOD Mode:

This mode concatenates a series of physical
drives as a single large volume; Hard Drive 1 and
2 are combined into a storage capacity that is
equal to the sum of each of the physical hard
drives 1 and 2.
Switching to this mode will prompt to initialize
and format the hard disks. If you choose to add a
second hard disk at a later time, you will need to
format the entire array of disks again.

NOTE:
All data previously stored on the hard drive will
be lost! Please back up all data to a separate
storage before continuing.
