April 18, 20224 yr I have two 1000mbps NIC's in my Unraid server however I have never used more than one, should I...? What would be the advantage and how do I set it up..?
April 19, 20224 yr Little gain for a lot of work. If you want more network speed, 10Gbps adapters and infrastructure would be a better use of your resources. Others may have a different opinion, but that's what I personally did.
April 19, 20224 yr Binding "interfaces" can be a pain in the ass. (are they both Intel, or something else?). Jonathan mentions "10Gbps"... and I would caution looking for "MULTI" Gbps. There are "standards" for *1*Gps (normal), and *2.5* Gps, and *5* Gps, and *10* Gps. Only (above 1Gps) 2.5 and 10 are "popular". BUT... If your *10* won't do *2.5*... you're back to *1* (ALL protocols fall back to *1* Gbps -- I shouldn't say that, but most do). The journey beyond Gigabit has many options. (SFP?) Mr. Grey
April 19, 20224 yr Author Thanks guys, that's pretty much what I thought too. I did try binding on a previous server and the process was way too difficult so I gave up.
