Hello
I'm currently considering to upgrade my home LAN for better NAS transfer capabilities, using Port Teaming at 802.3ad protocol.
I'm using Windows 10 64-bit on my PC. I have built in Intel I219-V adapter on my MB.
I've read about the Windows 10 port teaming issues, which should be already solved, but not all of the NICs are supported on the update.
Here are the options i consider:
1) Buy new Intel I210-T1 Single Ethernet adapter (35-40$) (from HP) and team it with my I219-V - will port teaming work with these two different NICs under Windows 10? (in windows 10 compatibility support table it says that I210 has full support but what about I219?)
2) Buy used Intel I340-T2 Dual Ethernet adapter (25-30$) and apply teaming to both ports - in compatiblity support table it says that I340 doesn't have full support...
3) Buy used Intel 1000 PRO/PT Dual Ethernet Adapter (10-15$) (it's cheaper than used I340, and cheaper than new I210-T1) - in compatiblity support table it says that it doesn't have full support...
10gb/s cards are not affordable... they're too expensive... same as I350-T2 (150$)...
If i had to choose between I350-T2 and 10bg/s adapters - X520-T2 would be a better choice than I350-T2 - X520 has dual 10gb/s ports, and full support, but it costs about 125$...
I don't want to waste my money... I have to by a 802.3ad switch (costs about 100USD), and i don't want to spend too much money - my main goal is to increase NAS transfer rate between my PC and NAS above 112,5 MB/s - so it's not worth spending few hundred bucks...
I also would like to be 100% effective with my choice so i won't stay with few network cards
Please help me to decide which adapter i should by
