Ask your customer what risk they want to take.
If they are OK (and sign off on) the fact they might loose a bunch of
data due to a JBOD disk failure then go for it..
Otherwise, networked attached or direct attached RAID.

I'm getting ready to install a 20+ camera system for a customer that
want's 9-5 Full Time Recording with 30 days storage. So he can go
back and check work comp cases to see if employees were really hurt on
the job. My Calcs come in at needing around 4-5tb of storage to
accomplish this, so I'd like the server to have 6-8tb of storage for
some overhead. Rather than building out a server with a bunch of
drive bays, RAID Card and mirroring/striping drives etc, I was
wondering if anyone has used an External JBOD enclosure for this? I'm
thinking like a DROBO unit or similar. Any Caveats to watch out for?
Is there too much disk IO to have this work well over a LAN, USB 3.0,
or Thunderbolt connection? What other (Affordable) options am I
missing to get a bunch of storage in a single volume for the NVR?
