Hi there
Love your work, you are doing a great job with helping the world better understand NASs.

I am looking at buying a Synology 1621+, and was interested in your thoughts on a POE enabled 16 port switch that supports Link Aggregation.
Might be a good article to share with your audience, given that LAG is the path forward to higher data rates. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

You will need a smart/managed switch in order to be able to enable link aggregation.
