JBOD - Just a Bunch of Drives- Best comapred to RAID0 as there is no fault tolerance
- Doesnt offer the [potential] performance benifits of RAID0 however it doesnt have the downside of (a) potential complete data loss and (b) drive efficiency is improved (while RAID0 arrays make use of totalSize = numberOfDrives x smallestDrive, a JBOD's maximum size is the sum total of the constituant drives)
