“Just A Bunch Of Disks” (JBOD)

If you have some disks in a system that you decide not to configure into a RAID array, what do you do with them? Traditionally, they are left to act as independent drive volumes within the system, and that’s how many people in fact use two, three or more drives in a PC. In some applications, however, it is desirable to be able to use all these disks as if they were one single volume. The proper term for this is spanning; the pseudo-cutesy term for it, clearly chosen to contrast against “redundant array of inexpensive disks”, is Just A Bunch Of Disks or JBOD. How frightfully clever.
