Default Using MSA50 As SAS JBOD?

Not unless the P600 or P800 has the ability to present all the devices as
JBOD, which I am reasonably sure they dont. Given the performance and
availability of RAID, why would you want a JBOD setup?

Worst case ... Make one massive RAID Voulme, and partition the hell out of.
Although, it would be preferable to have have discreet array volumes with a
single partition, rather than one volume with loads of partitions.

The MSA 50 JBOD SAS enclosures have some kind of high density mini
connector
on them that mates to the SAS RAID controllers like the P600. Does HP
make
any adapter that would allow us to use these boxes as a pure JBOD
solution?
I am trying to set up a testing station for SAS drives, so I need the
computer to have access to the raw drive, and I certainly don't want the
complexity of defining lots of individual RAID 0 volumes through a RAID
controller.
