Dec 8, 2020 · 1 volume including 2 disks. It's listed in GUI as JBOD. But i think more acurate will be to show it as RAID 0. RAID-0 and JBOD are in fact different. If you started with a one-disk volume and added a second disk, then you have JBOD. If you started with two disks, you could have created a RAID-0 volume that spanned both disks. The difference:

Sep 12, 2013 · X-RAID for your Duo (v1) uses the capacity of the smallest disk. All disks must be replaced with higher capacity disks for expansion to take place.

Jul 2, 2016 · With this disk configuration XRAID uses RAID-5. Here's a (somewhat simplified) picture of how RAID-5 redundancy works. It's a math trick. Imagine 3 blocks of data - A, B, C. These blocks are stored on three of the disks. Now compute P=A+B+C, and store that in the corresponding slot of the fourth disk.

Nov 17, 2023 · Start by connecting disk 1 to a PC, and see if the tool can see your data. If that fails, then try disk 2. This tool will also require you to offload the data to the PC.
