I have never set up a raid setup before. However I am thinking about doing it to solve a storage issue I have. I am looking into doing jbod with 2 400gb disks and I need some input here. Is there a site that would give me a step by step tut on doing this. Or a site that I can get a lot of reading on how to do this.
I already have a few drives in this case but my C drive then a backup drive a video drive a music drive and so on. I need much more room for the music and thats where the jbod comes in at. I need to set up the jbod for the music drive and have it read as one drive so I can still catalog it correctly with some software I have.

You turd, JBOD has twice the integrity of RAID0, because you only loose half your data when a drive fails. Really, you can re-creat a JBOD with one drive missing, and all the files from that drive missing.
