Schnapps Posted July 14, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2014 Some cards are not functioning. Try and buy and if not working, return it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhaines Posted July 14, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 14, 2014 On my gnoboot 10.5 install it automatically recognised a new card. Have a look for HP360NT Dual NICs on eBay - they are PCI-E, Intel based and go for about £15-20. There is also Dell & IBM variants which should work fine. Just make sure you get one with a low-profile bracket As for bonding, the GUI will walk you through creating a bond. There are different types of bonds (performance, redundancy etc - have a google about it), for full LACP bonding you'll need a managed switch on the other end but you'll be able to do a basic bond without one. A basic bond means you'll still only get a maximum 1Gbps throughput per connection - you'll only see a benefit greater than 1Gbps if you have multiple devices hitting the NAS at once. If you want a good managed LACP capable switch then HP 1810G 8port switches also usually go for reasonable prices on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
