Hi, I have a TS-453D, largely based on the Reviews of NasCompares, love your work. Love the unit also. I have purchased and installed a QNAP QM2 CARD, DUAL M.2 PCIe SSD, 10GBASE-T(1) EXPANSION CARD, Low Profile Bracket, fully aware of the limitations of the card, with respect to PCie limits on device with that card. I have 4 HDD installed and 2 nvme on the QM2 card. I have now finally got a 10GBASE-T home network. Is there anyway I can use the now unused dua 2.5 ports to boost throughput to network. From what I’ve read, it seems link aggregation only works with Nic’s of the same speed. Would I get better speeds dumping the QM2 10gbe, and getting dual 2.5 for the PCIE slot, then link aggregation the resulting 4 2.5gbe ports? I know this isn’t earth shattering, but I’m a tinkerer, and don’t want to have to fork out for a new NAS (wife won’t let me). Thanks in advance.
