rharvey Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 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..? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
MrGrey Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment
rharvey Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
