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 ;)

My NAS will be here this tuesday (the drives already were delivered) I was going to give the static LAG a try since I do have the GSS116E hooked up to my R7800 that way I can give it a try. If it does not handle what I have then I will look into getting a GS108T and not use the Static LAG on the GSS116E. I let you know what I find out later on this coming week.
