Hey Andy:
Yeah, me either due to the $ involved , but I'd like to try it when I maybe get the money(hope I win the lotto :0)) or whenever the price drops enough for me to afford it.
Yes , that is correct. I agree. Why would they call it JBOD? Must sound better for them to market to the company's/public/IT person. Strange It really isn't JBOD.
Yes, I know the Snap4000 doesn't support it via the menu. I was just wondering why it did not or if there was a undocumented command.
Does the Snap2000 or Snapp2200 support this command in the menu?
Do you know how to force JVM to run so I can invoke SnapExt on my Snap1000 I have. I just want to do this temporary to use S2S then remove it. I know it will be really really slow, but I don't mind.
Thanks again in advance,
bitor

I have not tested it due to the $ involved, but I can see no reason why the 4000 would not support 4 x 750 GB drives as single drives (being on the same IDE channel should make no difference). Notice I called it single drives, I refuse to call it JBOD (even though that is what the documentation calls it also), because it is NOT JBOD. JBOD combines drives (even of different sizes) into one large disk (not striped either). JBOD = Just a Bunch Of Disks.
Anywise, it may not work, I have no idea without testing it myself, but from what I can tell from the hardware etc, it should work fine IF you replace the power supply to one that can support that load.
