JBODs, or Just a Bunch of Disks, are storage enclosures that house multiple hard disk drives without combining them into a RAID configuration.
They provide a simple and cost-effective way to expand storage capacity by adding individual disks to the storage infrastructure.
JBODs are typically used for applications that require large-scale data storage, such as media archiving, data backup, and content repositories.
These storage enclosures are often employed in conjunction with software-based storage solutions that manage the individual disks as separate storage volumes.
JBODs offer flexibility in terms of storage expansion and can be easily integrated into existing storage environments without the complexity of traditional RAID configurations..
