ReadyNas link aggregation, bonding, teaming
I have a Readynas Pro6 with 6.8.0 I'd like to increase the netwrok speed, copying large files (3-25GB) from my computer to NAS, or reverse. The NAS have 2x Gigabit network port. My PC have a...

Round Robin better for me than XOR?
Round Robin ensures that outbound traffic from the NAS uses both NICs equally. XOR does a hash of the source and destination addresses. I think that will limit you to 1 gigabit throughput.
This will require some experimentation. ALB or TLB modes might also be worth a try.
Thanks a lot.
Usually just my PC use the NAS, and the network. My wife use her laptop and mobile phone, but just for internet browsing, not more, I think it is not a heavy load. And I have a Samsung smart TV, this play movies from NAS on DNLA. It can be higher traffic, but it can work on a 802.11n wifi too, I don't think about heavy load.

Windows and teaming: The newer Intel driver support it again (it was supported in the past, long time ago in a galaxy far far away), now the driver over 22.x.x support it, I attached pic from it

Stephen, you are the Master of the Universe!!!!!!!!!!! (except Dagoba)
It working fine, attached the bencmark.
In PC, I use Static Link Aggregation (SLA) on NICs, and RoundRobin on the NAS.
Switch is a TP-Link TL-GS108E
I'm glad you got it working so easily. Thx for sharing your results. :smileyhappy:
I am noticing that the write speeds still seem limited to 1 gigabit. That could be a PC SLA issue, so you might look to see what options you have there for load balancing across the two output interfaces. As you likely know, with link aggregation the load balancing is done by each sender, and the algorithms can be different in each system.
