JBOD vs regular HDD vs RAID
i'm curious as the reliability of the JBOD setup compared to just having a HDD in my regular computer. is it the same chances of a disk failing or being rendered FUBAR? i only ask as when using RA...
Keep in mind, the readynas does not support generic 'jbod'.
It does support 'flex-raid' modes such as individual single disk raid-0 volumes, however there is currrently a 4 volume limit, so if you had a 6bay or bigger device you would need to have different mixed raid modes to utilize all disks.
Further, the readynas is not designed for adhoc adding/remove drives (ie insert a new drive, copy data from 1 volume to another, then remove one of the disks). Any disk added to the device will lose any previous data and be formatted/initialized as a new disk.
