JBOD question

[ucdbiendog]

I did a quick JBOD search, and didn't come across anything that looked like what I am asking. So, I have a single 300GB hard drive on a Sil3114 RAID controller as a JBOD; this drive contains all my photo backups. I am in the process of troubleshooting some other problems, but in the event that I have to replace the motherboard/CPU etc., will this drive be readable on another motherboard? I know this is the case with RAID1 drives, but am curious about JBOD. Thanks!!

JBOD is usually a spanned volume, non-striped. If you only have a single drive, I don't think it matters. You can try that by connecting the drive to another system first to see how this goes. Worse scenario you can still get everything back with GetDataBack so long as the drive still works.

my understanding of jbod(just a bunch of disks) is that the raid controller sees each drive as a separate volume, so if there was 2 jbod disk you would see 2 drives in windows vs 1 if stripped or mirrored and would not matter what raid controller its is hooked up to
