JBOD is not individual disks, but Sam, who means well and is a good guy, was in fact telling you to set them as individual disks. JBOD is in fact a RAID array type. It does stand for "Just a Bunch Of Disks", but that is the point. JBOD is a Bunch Of Disks (2 or more) put into an array to look as if it was a single drive. They are not "stripped", "mirrored", or contain any "parity data", just strung together to look like a single drive. In fact, JBOD is the RAID arrays that mixing and matching hard drives is okay because that is what it was designed for. It was originaly designed so that various spare drives laying around on the work benches could be put to good use. What I find interesting is that Adaptec SNAP advertising often lists JBOD as one of the modes supported by their SNAP units (or at least they get advertised that way by others) and yet as far as any SNAP unit I have seen 1st hand, JBOD is not a real option in the menus. Funny thing is, I see this often within advertising of RAID equipments of many manuacturers, and they too do not support this mode. Individual Disks is individual disks, not JBOD. (now off my soap box)

Didnt know JBOD was a form of raid...

Lol

I thought that was just the term used for keeping the disks individual....?

Im sure mine keeps them as individual disks in JBOD......

:S

Gonna go and look
