I have gone through the manual and dont see anything mentioned on if this unit supports JBOD. I assume that it does, since it supports RAID. I have a 3TB and a 1TB drive that I just want to use as JBOD to maximize the capacity of the two drives, however I want them to appear as one logical unit and not two drives when I am in FTP and SAMBA. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

When using JBOD they will appear as 2 disks, you cannot use them both as one logical volume, you need RAID for this.

PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.

Unfortunately, I have two drives of differing size - 3TB and 1TB. If I use RAID0 then wont I be limited to 2TB in total capacity?

Ok, I just received an email from Buffalo support and they say this unit does support JBOD spanning across two drives. I am getting conflicting information, some say that they JBOD mode in this unit will show two separate volumes while others say it will show one volume with the combined size of both drives. Confused!

JBOD as the name suggests is just a bundle of disks, hense no RAID or spanning, this being the case both HDDs appear seperately.
