Pro tip: if you want actual reliable hardware then buying used enterprise hardware from bigger companies is a steal Got my home server (24 bay ) for like 3 grand
On Windows 10 pro at least i have tested and you can create nic teaming. Using this Run Powershell as Admin (Shows the nics) Get-NetAdapter (Create a Team) New-NetSwitchTeam -Name "name of team" -TeamMembers "Ethernet","Ethernet 2" etc (Shows info about the Team) Get-NetSwitchTeam (Remove the Team) Remove-NetSwitchTeam -Name "name of team"
Thank you, Chris, but I think, that this time your idea is not really good. With iSCSI block access protocol you turn your NAS box into DAS with long cable, because you can't use these drives from other devices without cluster filesystem. Leave block storage for SAN and clusters, home users should use only file access protocols.
My understanding of network bonding is that you cannot exceed the link speed of the member interfaces in one connection. A connection will stick to one interface in the bond after it is established. However, connections are now split between the two interfaces. If you were to have two connections running from server A to server B, then the connections shouldn't start bottle-necking each other as far as bandwidth goes because they will be traveling across different interfaces. Your total bandwidth using multiple connections should be 2Gb/s, but each connection will be limited to a maximum of 1Gb/s.
That was an interesting little video. Would have been cool to see some testing with NFS, especially on the Mac. I tried to set up iSCSI to my crappy DS212j and found it to be about 10-20% slower than NFS - got this recommendation from someone on the /r/homelab subreddit and was super unexpected for me. Maybe give it a try and let us know if it can be used for 4K editing, would love to see the result :D
there is the mikrotic 10GB switch.... but admittedly it is terrible at 10Gb link aggregation (it just cant keep up) so 10Gb switched that are "affordable" can be found for way under $1k but you have to have the capability to give up some things. and for 10Gb how many people are doing link aggregation on a 10Gb home network?
I don't know, from a $$$ perspective just loading up 6-10 SSD's or HDD's in your PC seems like it would be a lot cheaper for the same result, what am I missing?
Hey Chris Can you make a video about getting the best ping in a fps game? Will Better cables help, Best routers, Router settings, Window settings. Will adding a better network card help? Might not be possible to really help my in game ping but I’d like to hear what you have to say. Thanks
Chris, Ebay is full of used server sfp+ network cards and fiber transceivers for pennies and fiber cables are cheap. Could you take some of those cards to test and show how to get them working. I can't get link to activate.
Hey a small question. Would it be possible for multiple people to play the same game from a NAS? or would i have to create multiple copies of the game for that to work?
Hi Chris, When you get time could you do a video on maximizing performance of a home network that has a router (ADSL or Fibre) with just wireless to connect between each Linux PC and a Linux PC acting as a server? Thank you.

Hilarious, as in Ireland, we can't even get 1GB even with a FTTH connection but hey we still paid the price of a 10GB FTTH connection... Ireland always 20yrs behind in technology 😂😂

Bonding in Linux is relatively straight forward, but it varies depending on the distribution. Ubuntu is netplan and I've done a video on that. Bonding in arch would probably be netcfg / systemd depending on options. To go over those types of options would take a lot longer and would make the video over 30 minutes. I will be going over building my own router using pfSense which will be FreeBSD based.
@@ChrisTitusTech Good to hear that you haven't given up on Linux completely. Just saw that you did less and less with Linux over the last few months. Got my own trusty pfSense box which routes everything over VPN exclusively. Though I would switch to OPNsense if my box were to be broken somehow. Since Netgate bought pfSense it hasn't been the same as before. They even wanted stop supporting CPUs without hardware encryption...
So a 1 gbps network isn't fast enough for a home network? On what planet is this? Used Cisco and HP Procurve gigabit switches are cheap as chips on ebay. Like less than the cost of a meal out for 1 person. 10 gbps networks are only required in places like data centres where multi-nationals have their mega server hubs. I've enjoyed a lot of Chris's videos, but this one on networks seems to be recommending a large amount of spending for no real gain.

Interesting home network setup, but definitely not budget friendly.
I don't have a home network. This is going to be a base video for my new network. Thanks Chris! Keep up the best work ❤️
wasnt there a word budget in first sence of the video? :D
Wow!!! Office looking incredible!
Wow your channel blew up! Keep it up Chris!
Great content once again, Chris! Keep up the great work!
The best use and most practical cases are backup and media storage/streaming.
On Windows 10 pro at least i have tested and you can create nic teaming. Using this
Run Powershell as Admin

Get-NetAdapter

New-NetSwitchTeam -Name "name of team" -TeamMembers "Ethernet","Ethernet 2" etc
(Shows info about the Team)
Get-NetSwitchTeam
(Remove the Team)
Remove-NetSwitchTeam -Name "name of team"
Well, I’ve been needing to rebuild my network and this might finally be the inspiration to do so!!
Everything went over my head. Need to learn more.
Thank you, Chris, but I think, that this time your idea is not really good.

Good to see That CMatrix running back again.
A cool project. A pity that most people can't do it but it is fun to play with this.

I was so excited for this video.
Hey Chris I’m building a PC, should I build Intel or AMD in terms of compatibility and performance with Linux? Building for video editing and such.
Can you do an overview over current fibre connection options to use in running cables between multiple stories in your house?
Jumbo Frames needs a dark theme! ;)
Jumbo frames are the Elephant in the (network) room

That's true, if you're the only PC user in your house.
What type of internet access do you have? T1 or what?

Please go over Linux Mint 20.1 ulyanna❤️
Love from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵
Good data on the lacp, thanks, please reduce the amount of mid roll ads, it's too much, thanks
Hey, love you Chris!
Are there differences between a $30 10G nic and $200 10G nic? Both single rj45 port
Please excuse me Chris, can you tell me what AVAMP you recommend for use with windows 10
That aruba looks like a good deal
You should run one with all acard 9010s installed :)
How can I do some speed test internally, is there a software/tool I can use that would give my all details like ping speed ...
ipref should work ^^
iperf3 is incredible and by far the best tool for testing speed.
Hi Chris, When you get time could you do a video on maximizing performance of a home network that has a router (ADSL or Fibre) with just wireless to connect between each Linux PC and a Linux PC acting as a server? Thank you.
is segregating the 10gb subnet from the 1gb network needed for optimal MTU settings?
I'm thinking of having home network system in the (far) future but I don't know why would I need it. Any reason for having home network setup?
Tell me about the best working antivirus for dektop pc and laptop.
Which one i should download and plz tell me suggest me websites.
My home 1G network
pfsense box with 14 ports, openvpn also

Chris, I'm having UDP connectivity issues I can't figure out! I would like your help if I could get it
Did you drop your manjaro-setup?
I wonder if I can do this without a symbology device.
I love my QNAP!
Could you make a video about open media vault?
Ah yes, this is what i need for my 20mb/s broadband... lol
so, the Linux configuration is automatic?
all I need is a stable 1Gib network
Sad that you didn't go over Linux configuration :-(
Yeah
Hilarious, as in Ireland, we can't even get 1GB even with a FTTH connection but hey we still paid the price of a 10GB FTTH connection...

No a networks price is justified
How to do this in Linux ?
"Hey let me show you how to replace your $60 HDD with a $2000 network setup and a few days of configuration and troubleshooting so you can shave a couple seconds on loading games... like... if you only play one game..."

You can have more than fine gaming speeds on your standard ISP router, which is absolutely nothing special. This is overkill.
I see $1000 price,
Ok this video is not for u
I am from a town in India we have 10 mbps. Anyone with lower speed ?
Have you given up on Linux completely?

never been this early for a video 😳

Used Cisco and HP Procurve gigabit switches are cheap as chips on ebay. Like less than the cost of a meal out for 1 person.

Too expensive for me.
who can afford 1500 usd just for the parts? lol
