You can't make LAGs on the GSS108E but you can make static LAGs on the GSS116E. Neither of them support LACP LAGs.

If you really want to make a LAG, you could create a static LAG on the GSS116E and a Round Robin bond on the NAS, which would be the correct configuration.
Unless you have a good reason to think so, using an LACP LAG between the NAS and GS108T, then a static LAG between the GS108T and the GSS116E is not going to have any benefit over simply using a direct static LAG.
I personnaly avoid ALB, but that's only my opinion ;)

StephenB Would it be worth trying to use ALB with using the LAG on the GS116E or would it be not worth trying?
No, that's not the correct way to configure it. You set up the NAS normally (1 network connection). Then connect the second NIC, and configure ALB on the NAS. No LAG is configured on the GS116E.
StephenB Thanks I was just asking if it would help since it is a static LAG it was just a thougt.
Thanks for all your help. I going to put it on order. It going to take a few weeks to get the drives in their are on backorder. I let you know how it went.
