Concatenated (JBOD) set:•
Increase storage space with a
concatenated disk set
If you need one large disk, but you have several smaller disks, you can create
a concatenated disk set to use as one large disk.
Select the checkboxes of the disks you want to include in the set.4.
For each disk, click the pop-up menu in the Role column and choose “RAID slice” or
“Spare” to designate the disk as a standard member or spare in the set, then click
Next.
5.
Enter a name for the RAID set in the RAID Name field.6.
Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose a volume format that you want for all the
disks in the set. (See
7.
File system formats available in Disk Utility
.)
Click the “Chunk size” pop-up menu, then choose a disk chunk size that you want
used for all the disks.
8.
When you create a striped set, chunks of data from the same file are
distributed across the drives. Ideally, you want data distributed across drives
evenly and at an optimum size so that it can be efficiently accessed. If you
want high data throughput from your set, choose a smaller chunk size so that
data is spread across the drives and one drive can be accessing data while
another is seeking the next chunk. With mirrored disk sets, choose a chunk
size that matches the data you’re accessing. For example, when working with
video files, your Mac is accessing large chunks of data, whereas when using
a database of many small records, your disks may be accessing smaller
chunks of information.

If you are creating a mirrored RAID set, select the “Automatically rebuild” checkbox to
allow the set to be automatically rebuilt when member disks are reconnected
