I have a micro atx system that I run a 8TB RAId 5 array in as my media server. The MOBO has 1 PCI-E x1 slot and 2 PCI for expansion. (The other 16x PCI-E slot is used for my controller card).
I installed two trednet PCI gigabit PCI NICS and set up the link aggregation within my netgear gs108T managed switch but the link aggregation still seems to not be working.
After researching this more it appears that the NICS themselves have to support it, such as broad-com or Intel. I an having a tough time locating 2 x PCI gigabit NICS to install in this system that I can team for link aggregation.
So, to my question, can anyone recommend a pair or PCI gigabit NICS that will 100% support teaming/link aggregation. Or, does anyone know of any third part software that I can use with my existing cards?
Thanks!
