JBOD – Single Drive
Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) arranges individual physical drives on the ATI
SB600 Controller controller the same as if they were attached to the PC’s
motherboard controller. The advantage is that the ATI SB600 Controller can
accommodate up to four physical drives, more than most PC motherboards.
JBOD offers none of the performance or security advantages of a RAID logical
drive. Any number of physical drives on the ATI SB600 Controller can be
designated as JBOD.
In WebPAM, you create, manage, and delete a JBOD the same as a logical drive.
In addition, if you attach a physical drive that was initialized using Windows disk
management, that drive will be automatically recognized as a JBOD by the ATI
SB600 Controller and WebPAM.
