JBOD / Expansion Storage
In today’s data-driven world, quickly and cost-effectively expanding capacity is a top priority for businesses of all sizes. JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) solutions provide a straightforward way to scale storage without the added complexity and expense of advanced RAID controllers. By housing multiple drives in a single enclosure, JBODs deliver flexible, high-density storage that can be easily attached to your existing infrastructure—whether it’s NAS, SAN, or DAS.
At JetStor, we offer a range of JBOD solutions from leading vendors such as QSAN, Western Digital, and Seagate, along with our own JetStor-branded expansions. Each JBOD system can be tailored to meet diverse needs, from archive and backup workloads to high-performance computing and big data analytics. With hot-swappable drives, redundant power supplies, and robust connectivity options, our JBODs deliver dependable and scalable performance at an attractive price point. Whether you need an entry-level model or a high-capacity enclosure, JetStor’s JBOD / Expansion Storage lineup ensures your data can keep growing—without compromising on uptime or versatility.

It supports up to 84 drives in a 5U form factor, offering substantial capacity while ensuring energy efficiency and performance. Ideal for enterprise applications, it includes advanced cooling and power management features to optimize storage operations. The system is versatile and integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructures, making it perfect for businesses with growing data needs.
Direct-Attached Expansion Arrays: JBOD, JBOF, and Beyond
In today’s data-driven landscape, direct-attached expansion solutions have evolved well beyond traditional JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) configurations. Modern arrays now include options like JBOF (Just a Bunch of Flash) and other variations that cater to the specialized needs of diverse environments. These systems are designed to deliver scalable, flexible, and highly tailored storage capacity and performance—without the complexity of fully featured storage controllers.
JBOD arrays remain a reliable choice for straightforward capacity expansion, aggregating multiple drives into a single addressable pool. They excel at providing cost-effective, high-density storage for archival data, backups, media repositories, and other large-scale, less I/O-intensive workloads. For environments demanding tighter latency and higher throughput, JBOF solutions leverage solid-state drives to accelerate access to frequently accessed data and support the speed requirements of high-performance computing and real-time analytics.
As storage technology continues to evolve, these “just a bunch of…” configurations serve as adaptable building blocks. Organizations can mix and match traditional JBOD, flash-based JBOF, and hybrid setups to build infrastructures that precisely meet their data access and cost-efficiency goals. Whether you’re looking to expand raw capacity, accelerate performance, or achieve the perfect balance between the two, these direct-attached solutions empower you to shape your storage architecture to the demands of today—and tomorrow.
