Hi this might be redundant but my issue is that i have a saturated link @ 100mb right now planning to go 1gb but i wanted to ask if there is anything i can do as far as teaming or using etherchannel or lacp for my home NAS
i plan on hooking up ESXI5 to it and a number of shares, CIFS to be exact only about 8 people max accessing it simultaneously
p43biostar mobo
intel celeron cpu e3300 @ 2.50ghz
4gb of 1066 ram
1x500gb 7200RPM
right now i am getting 12 mb/s when transferring 2gb file across my network with only these two clients on the network, both NICS set at 100mb full. i can see in the monitoring of FREENAS that it seems like my link is saturated when performing this operation as well as the source (my windows 7 computer). I would like to think i could get at least 25/30 mb/s with one single drive and this operation. but my switch is only 100mb
I would like to increase the speeds up to 120mb/s write/read (i will be using 3 10k WD raptors in raid z) had some extra raptors laying around so :)
so i am asking if i want to achieve these speeds what do i need to do, maybe i do not need to use LACP? do you have any suggestions for 1gb switches with or without layer 3 abilities
thanks,
