Hello friends,
I switched all my HDDs into an external RAID enclosure to free up space inside my computer, so I'm trying to use JBOD to maximize my space (I pay for cloud backup).
HDD (1) in my RAID enclosure is a WD Caviar Black drive. The other three are greens. I was wondering how JBOD works - if I partition off 1 or 2 TB of the Caviar Black, does it save that amount of space for use on the first HDD? Or does the first thing I write to the disk go straight to the first available HDD, making partitions on JBOD essentially useless?
If this question sounds confusing, I apologize, and I will try to clarify. Thank you.
