When configuring storage on local servers or Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, RAID and JBOD are the two common options. Both involve combining multiple drives into a single volume, but they differ significantly in how data is distributed, protected and accessed. Choosing the wrong configuration can lead to performance degradation or data loss. This post covers the differences between JBOD and RAID and identifies the optimal storage types for backups and VM datastores.

Android is a very popular and prolific operating system on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Most of the time, there is no practical reason to install Android on a physical computer, but there may be some cases when you need to run Android on a virtual machine (VM), for example, when developing applications for Android and testing them. Fortunately, you can install Android on VMware Workstation, VMware Player, VMware ESXi, and VirtualBox.
