I've been reading up on this a lot lately. Seems every post has a different story/opinion.
Basically I want to play around with getting more transfer speeds.
CURRENT SETUP
Right now I only have a single NIC from my NAS to an unmanaged jumbo frame gigabit switch. I was getting about 40-90MB/s on FTP transfers but now suddenly I'm getting 30MiB/s transfers. Nothing has changed on the NAS or local machine; all pools are healthy; cables and their connections are good.
Local machine & NAS are all SATA 6Gbps connected with 7200RPM HDDs. RAID5Z2 configuration.
FUTURE SETUP IDEA
Looking to upgrade to 3 NICs total on NAS & local machine both connected to a new managed switch with 9000 jumbo frames and LACP compatibility.
Is this worth the extra trouble or is there some red flag I need to check with my current drop in speed?
