Concur.  All the SPARCs thru the SPARCserver 1000E and the SPARCcenter 2000E 
used JBOD boxen on either SCSI (differrential) or Fiber Channel to multiple 
SCSI controllers.  The RAID functions are handled by the CPU/CPUs via Solaris 
Disksuite (which is a watered down version of Veritas Volume Manager).  The 
newer stuff....well, when it gets cheap I'll get the skinny for you, but I 
think it is probably the same old story.  The software is still there.  My 
guess is the JBODs are, too.

Any Sysadmins to chime in?
