thats a stunningly bad way to go about it.

A) if you want JBOD, use a SAS/SATA enclosure with a SAS host card, as 
SATA doesn't support multichannel multiplexing.
or
B) if you want a SAN, use iSCSI or FCoE or something.
or
C) if you want a NAS, use NFS.   this is the best solution for many 
applications.
