And LACP is not designed to do that, unless you have multiple file transfers happening at the same time (and perhaps not even then). See page 7 here: http://www.ieee802.org/3/hssg/public/ap ... 1_0407.pdf

Maybe try MLB first, since that doesn't require you to buy a switch. And its possible that MLB will increase your speed.
If you do buy the switch, use the "layer 3+4" xmit hash in the NAS (and the switch if it has it).
