It seems that your goal in setting up LACP is to improve the read/write speeds between PCs, am I right? It seems your concern is similar to this forum link I found online. Kindly access and read it.
Doing an iPerf test would help. Here are the links I found online that you could use as a guide to perform an iPerf test.
What is iPerf and how is it used?

Hi hosregla,
Are you going to cascade all of the switches having a LAG configuration in between?
Kindly access the links below as reference guide on how to configure LAG:

Will I get better performance, if the switches do not go through the router, and only one of them goes through the router ?.
The DC, and SQL SERVER, PACS DICOM are connected in 192.168.0.200 GS748Tv4H1 5.4.2.13
How would you connect them?
Can I connect two switches in lag mode with x.200?
Thnks by your time ;)

Hi hosregla,
Referring on the diagram below, I believe this is the setup that you wanted to implement wherein Switch A is connected to the firewall router. Then switch B is connected via a LAG connection to Switch A. Then Switch C is connected via a LAG connection to Switch B. Am I right?
If ever I am right, this setup is possible and you may refer on the article I have provided previously on how to set up LAG.

Is it good practice, connect to b by LAG and C connecto to A by LAG and D to B by lag ??
