A/B indicates which striped pair the drive belongs to. 
1/2 indicates which part of stripe data.
Under RAID 10, the array maintains data integrity if any 1, 2 combination 
survives.  
JBOD – Single Drive
An alternative to RAID, JBOD capacity is equal to the size of the disk drive itself. 
JBOD appears in the User Interface as one individual drive. 
There are no performance or fault-tolerance features. When one disk fails, all 
data on that disk is lost. The other disks are unaffected.
