JBOD
JBOD stands for Just a Bunch of Disks. Each disk in the array, whether part of separate devices or the same
device, mounts on the computer as a separate disk.

How JBOD Capacity Is Calculated
The total capacity of a JBOD array is the sum of
the capacities of each of its disks, or
C = n*d
where:
C = available capacity
n = number of disks
d = disk capacity
For example, in a JBOD array with four drives
each with a capacity of 1000GB, the total ca-
pacity of the array would be 4000GB:
C = (4*1000)
