I have a Qnap NAS
What is the best configuration for four gigabit ethernet? Not sure what/how to set the ethernet.

specs:
Celeron N3160 1.6GHz quad core cpu.
8GB of ram.
booting from a 128GB SanDisk SSD connected via USB3.
4 - WD Red 6GB the older ones with CMR in RaidZ1
4 x Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet port
I have installed TrueNAS Scale 22.02.03

Connected to an unmanaged Gigabit switch

Resource - LACP ... friend or foe?

Too many LACP discussions lately. Here's what you need to know. 1) Link aggregation groups are an interesting way to boost network throughput. They're typically managed by a protocol called Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Link...
