My post was corrected a on a few minor symantics. JBOD is not a true RAID mode (thus my corrections), but it is a kissing cousin to RAID beause it is an "array" of disks. Thus, calling it a RAID mode is more accurate than saying it is individual disks because being individual disks is what JBOD is trying to overcome.
Here is some light reading for you Sam...
