October 21, 201510 yr I have one NIC attached to my mobo. It's connected to my router and everything runs well. Isee alot of comments about adding a NIC... What would be the purpose of a second NIC?
October 22, 201510 yr My guess is that you would be able to use Link Aggregation Protocol. I haven't set it up yet as I just got my unraid build, but I will be setting it up later. What would happen is if you have 2 machines reading or writing from/to unraid you would essentially double your bandwidth 2gbps instead of 1. BUT Link Aggregation doesn't work on single link (single file transfer) you would have to be using 2 machines accessing unraid to take advantage. My guess is also that it won't work for reading from single hard drive as it would be your bottleneck. Maybe someone who has experience with unraid can correct me.
