Hi hosregla,

Welcome to the community!

I would go with the single GS748T, it's much easier to manage if you only have one unit. In terms of performance, this should be the same, using 2 switches with trunk ports benefits works better if you have multi-sessions on both switches. If your network activity uses single session, it will max out the first port's bandwidth before using the second one. I am hoping some other users here can give more input.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks,

    Hi hosregla,
    
    I have to be clear on what you are trying to accomplish, do you just want the devices to be connected on a single network? If you have a diagram of your network plan, that will help us in giving you the correct suggestions.
    
    I'll look forward to your response.
    
    Thanks,
