I'm a loyal follower of your Youtube channel. Best NAS source out there! Congratulations!
Would love to know how to setup a 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps computer / router / switch / NAS combo. For instance, do I need a router that supports over 1Gpbs, or is it OK to only have a switch that supports that, and connecting the computers and NAS through the switch? Could you recommend a switch?
Can I expand a DS 923+ (which I intend to buy) with an add-on card for higher speeds? Does it need to be from Synology or can I buy from a third party? If so, is there a model you could suggest?
What about a QNAP TS-453Be (which I own)?
I would prefer to have a single ethernet cable connected to each device, instead of bonding LANs. Since I have these 2 NAS devices, bonding would require 4 cables. And 2 more cables for my main computer. That would make 6 already. It becomes very complicated quickly, specially with router/switch configuration and model selection.
Thank you so very much!
