denniS_redbeast Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I only have 1gbe port on the itx motherboard that I want to use as the base of my NAS. However, I want to implement link aggregation in order to increase my write speed onto the SSD cache when multiple pc's are off loading data. And here's when I faced my problem. Since its a itx motherboard, I don't have enough physical PCI-E slots (I am using the single present PCI-E slot for my HBA). Therefore, can I use a basic USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (here's one from StarTech: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833114074&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=usb_3.0_to_ethernet_adapter-_-33-114-074-_-Product) and team the two ethernet ports together? I always thought yes however recently I thought of the unRaid OS, and if it will recognize the two NIC's as separate devices that can be linked. Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 You've posted in the unRAID v5 board, and v5 did not have USB 3.0 support or support for more than one NIC. I assume you actually are asking with regard to the current unRAID v6, with support for both? Quote Link to comment
