Thanks for the super quick answer. So what happens if one drive goes bad? Do you lose the entire volume?JBOD is just that Just a bunch of drives just a box of drives whatever.
Your controoller or windows will take all the drives and lay them end to end and call it a volume.
Depends which one goes bad.Thanks for the super quick answer. So what happens if one drive goes bad? Do you lose the entire volume?
So if I have 3 4TB drives and 1 6 TB drive, does that mean that the JBOD looks like 18 TB? (Wow, what would I do with 18 TB? ...)

I use one with all the leftover drives i had for fun.
Not great for a backup strategy.
If it employs mirroring or striping or even a parity then its' not a JBOD.JBOD actually doesn't imply a "volume" arrangement such as concatenation.
It just presents individual drives to the OS, nothing more, nothing less.If it employs mirroring or striping or even a parity then its' not a JBOD.
how else can it work?

I bet my LSI will too.Your HighPoint controller allowed you to created a spanned logical volume and present that.
Some take a premium peace of meat, have it well done and still call it a steak. Life is a mistery.I bet my LSI will too.
and it'll call it a JBOD.
Does Highpoint make SATA products? I'm a Joe Average home user, with only SATA drives. The website seemed to show only SAS-based products.View attachment 277698

SmokeRngs Why?You don't ever use JBOD unless you don't care at all about the data on the disks.
Master_shake_ What are "sas forward" cables? I have been building my own systems for like 30 years now, but that term is new to me? Are these cables different than regular SATA data cables?Mines a 2720sgl which is a sas raid card.
The only difference is i'm using sas forward breakout cables.
SAS is compatible with sata.
They go from a sas connector to sata cables.Master_shake_ What are "sas forward" cables? I have been building my own systems for like 30 years now, but that term is new to me? Are these cables different than regular SATA data cables?
Thank you to lopoetve and Ready4Dis for their replies.Adding to Ready4Dis - It's literally a way of connecting a bunch of unrelated drives to a system. what the system does with it then is entirely up to the hardware/software it is connected to - it's effectively just a connection device. You can software RAID, hardware RAID, SDS, etc from there - however you want. In and of itself though, it's just like connecting a bunch of individual drives to your system.
