Ed, a JBOD is typically a bunch of disks.  Typically in a DAS attached to a 
SCSI controller.  Of course the SCSI controller can also have RAID 
functionality.

The NexSAN and Promise arrays I mentioned also get grouped into the JBOD 
category, but by definition differ a bit in that the RAID functionality is 
built-in. Semantics I guess?!

That said, for low end storage of backup data, it serves it's purpose and 
support is fantastic.  And sure as heck beats using an additional shelf of EMC 
disk or NetApp disk.
