Your NSA has a single bay for a SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk. JBOD is
the only storage method for the NSA310S and the default storage method if you are using a single
hard disk in the NSA310.
This JBOD volume shows up in the Storage > Volume screen (Section 7.2 on page 152) as
follows.
When you attach an eSATA hard disk to your NSA, you can configure this volume as: 1) a backup to
your SATA hard disk (RAID 1); or 2) as a separate storage drive (either another JBOD or a PC
Compatible Volume).
4.7.1 Creating a RAID 1 Volume
