In a ReadyNAS, a "JBOD" drive is actually a single-drive RAID1 that simply doesn't report it's degraded. I assume Netgear does it that way to make conversion to real RAID1 possible.

True, but my RN202 has two JBOD volumes, and they are reported as JBOD in the web ui - not RAID-1.

Yes, single drive RAID1 is used for JBOD only on Intel x64 OS6 8-) Or on devices with more than two storage slots?

Can this NAS combine 3 x 10TB drives into one 30TB volume?
Yes, you can combine them using RAID-0. No redundancy, so everything will be lost when a single disk fails. So RAID-0 is rather fragile.
I prefer JBOD, putting some shares on each volume. You do need to make sure you have adequate free space on each volume - though I haven't found that to be difficult when using larger disks.
I could do but I have a TV Show folder growing all the time, I suppose I could go back to A-Z filing or Ended/Current shows.
This might depend on how you watch them. If you use something like Plex, then you can combine multiple shares into a single Plex library.
You can do what you want, as long as you are ok with restoring 30 TB of data when a disk needs to be replaced.
If you want one volume, then one alternative is to get big enough drives now to use XRAID with redundancy, so you can expand more easily in the future.
lol, it took 2 days to transfer 16TB to the NAS after creating a 20TB RAID0
Yes I do use Plex, I could throw 4x20TB drives in it and do X-RAID, so that's 60TB of space with 20TB redundancy? 1 drive fails you are ok but 2 you have lost everything?
I thought of streaming Plex from the NAS but don't like the idea of the NAS running 24/7
I could throw 4x20TB drives in it and do X-RAID, so that's 60TB of space with 20TB redundancy? 1 drive fails you are ok but 2 you have lost everything?
Correct. And later on, you'd need to upgrade two drives to a larger size to increase capacity. Then upgrade the others (one at a time). If you always are adding drives that are at least as big as the largest you already have in the NAS, the volume size is computed by summing the drives and subtracting the largest. So if later on you had 2x30TB+2x20TB, you'd have 70 TB. 3x30TB+1x20TB would raise that to 80TB.
RAID redundancy is a good thing, but as I think you already know, you still need backup to protect against data loss.
