Hi, i had a 2 Disk setup up as a JBOD on a USB 2 bay enclosure, one day the power supply fail on the USB enclosure and i had 100's of Movies on the JBOD, my question is how can i retrieve the files on the 2 disk without the Original USB bay enclosure and without buying another one? i just want to save or move my files in my case my movies to a single disk perhaps a 4TB Drive.
any help is appreciated in advance!!

Examine sector 0 with a disc editor (eg DMDE freeware), or simply view them in Disk Management. Assuming that JBOD means that the two drives are just strung together in LBA order, then the drive with the partition information will be first in the JBOD array.

Now examine the second drive and look for a backup boot sector at the end. This will tell us how the drives are configured.

Now you can use a cloning tool, or your disc editor, to copy your drives, sector by sector, to the corresponding sectors on your target drive.

Windows can also create spanned volumes. However, you would need to understand the JBOD layout before proceeding.
