Jbod Mode - Vantec NexStar HX4R User Manual

JBOD Mode:

This mode concatenates a series of physical
drives as a single large volume; Hard Drive 1
through 4 are combined into a storage capacity
that is equal to the sum of each of the physical
hard drives.
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.
