New to homelabing so please excuse any mistakes!
I’m thinking of purchasing an MS-01 to expand my homelab. Also been considering the AtomMan X7 Ti because of the x2 Gen 4 slots (so I can fully utilising the Gen 4 when running the Nvmes in RAID via zfs, though not sure if I should be basing my decision around this).
Does anyone know if the MS-01 supports link aggregation over its 2.5G RJ45 ports, like the AtomMan X7 Ti on its 5G ports, or only over the 10G SFP+ ports on the MS-01. Not sure if the only way to get link aggregation working over my existing connection is to convert the 1G connections from my existing switch via RJ45 to SFP+ modules, assuming this is doable? Obviously if it’s possible just via the existing RJ45 ports then that will be cheaper and easier. Also not sure if there is any additional overhead in the conversion.
