What would be the best setup for Raid with 4 bay NAS
With the 4 bays what would be the best setuo for Raid? Also with the WD red what version should I get the reg red or the pro. I looking at either 4 2TB drives or 4 4TB drives. The cost difference c...
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.
I got everything up and running with my network. Thanks to everyone for all their help. What I did was created two Static LAG's on the GS116E and connected each one of the Ethernet outputs of the RN214 to each of the Static LAG's no other config needed. Came right up with no issues. Config my Time Machine setups as private for my MacBook pro and iMac and then set up my windows units’ backups along with setting up my cloud storage. All are working great so far Backups are fast with the backbone I have set up. One on 5Ghz wireless the rest on Ethernet 1gb full duplex. With 3 4tb red drives gives my approx. 7tb of data use. I see how much that will last me and then decide how big of drive I will need to add later on to fill the rest of the NAS.
