[ANSWERED] Single vs JBOD

[gnulab]

Hi,

I would like a simple old school type of data management - 2 individual hard disks acting as 2 individual hard disk instead of combining both as a single logical hard disk space - on my Asustor.
That way when I want to upgrade or change hard drive I could just unplug, plug it in as an external hard drive and copy it to the new hard drive.

So which option should I choose? Would it be the Single or JBOD?

Thanks!

If you plan to "unplug" as needed, you should adopt MyArchive feature.

Hi Orion,

So I should choose 'single' and the 2nd hdd should be MyArchive ?

If a HDD is set as MyArchive, can I simply plug it in to a Linux computer system in order to extract data?

Yes, for both of your questions.

Thanks for the heads up.
