Easy answer. No. If you don't want RAID don't buy a NetApp. There are many JBODs out there that will sell you disk space cheep. Please note that you get what you pay for in life.

We have a test machine with a bunch of disk space on it.

Not enough, and NetApp disk space isn't cheap :-)

Is there any easy way in which we can turn off RAID and free up that disk for real data? Ideally without losing all the data that's on there at present...
