So in regards to TL-D800UC
for jbod it works like this right?

ok so a dead hard drive i get how that works. but what about a scenario for bit rot. does raid, raid scrubbing and meta data parity that comes with raid help with that? or are they in a similar predicament?
in what case scenario would jbod be warranted? and for how many hdds in total would it be acceptable for? and at what turning point would you instead suggest using raid instead?
Because i noticed that the Tr-004 has raid capability

So i'm wondering then, what is the point for the jbod models when compared to that previous model i mentioned. it's nice though that it is usb 3.1 (10gb)
anyway, i'm just wondering whether these jbod expansion models would be a good fit for backup storage purposes? Or is raid recommended or overkill for backup (which is why they are coming out with a jbod model?)

Jbod spanning combine all hdds into a single volume ? or jbod basic mode is recommended ? (i'm assuming the later) i also found this where it's explained that for backup, it's best to use this type of device separate from the qnap to avoid potential issues (i'm assuming this model can be used as a standalone box like the Tr-004 can? or is it going to be similar to the earlier TX-500p where it could only be used with a QNAP NAS only? )
some sauce i've read up on this
