(ie, JBOD controllers and disks can also have subtle bugs that corrupt data)Of course, but there isn't the expectation of data reliability with a JBOD that there is with some RAID configurations.
There is not? People buy disk drives and expect them to corrupt their data? I expect the drives I buy to work fine (knowing that there could be bugs etc in them, the same as with my RAID systems).
