Although JBOD doesn't offer other RAID functionality, it makes the hard disks appear to be a single one by combining the drives into one larger logical one without any capacity loss. Setup Array for Normal: You can use the GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller as a normal IDE controller. The GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller allows you to use one, two, three or four hard drives. All the hard drives attached on the GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller are left to act as independent drive volumes. 21
