Noted. I should bypass those Dual-port NAS then.. thanks Andrew!
Not familiar with Synology NAS. With dual-NIC QNAP NAS + Cisco switch configured for LACP, I do see benefits of such setup where traffic from different session/source ends up utilising different connection to the dual-NIC NAS.
This allows background replication over WAN/Internet running on frequent basis without noticeable interruption to local LAN usage (eg. iTunes playback on Macs, AirPlay of video contents to TV, file copying). Oh, not to mention the p2p (rTorrent QKPG available for QNAP NAS) also in the background.
