Remember, RAID arrays achieve redundancy by copying the data over multiple drives – this causes your total storage capacity to decrease.

Configuring a JBOD is a pretty straightforward thing.

Whereas RAID involves configuring drives into a virtual disk that can be used for redundancy and hot-swapping, JBODs have no such redundancy or backup features.ĭespite the lack of inherent redundancy, JBODs do have some key advantages over RAID: (A JBOD could also be several stacked external disks connected to a computer, but for our purposes, we'll assume the drives are all internal). So what is a JBOD? If the above sounds complicated, know that "J.B.O.D" stands for " Just a Bunch Of Drives" (or "Disks") and is exactly as it sounds: an extensive configuration of disks in a computer. In the world of IT acronyms, nothing sounds more like a Marvel supervillain than "JBOD." No, JBOD is not a criminal mastermind bent on world domination (as far as we know) but a non-RAID storage architecture that maximizes the volume of its drives, so the total disk space is the sum of its drives.
