[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 407120, member: 9512"] I think that our Synology NAS will be OK with a 2x1GB link agg for a while yet. So, I think that copper there will be fine. I just want to be sure that I can get a good reliable 2GB right through the rest of the network. I think if I went fibre core then I would be looking at at least 4 copper ports at the core probably 8. Then if I went for 2 link agg to each sub-switch then I would need at least 8 fibre ports, as realistically due to the layout I'll need at least 4 switches. Possibly 5, I've not seen a switch yet with say 8 copper & 8 fibre ports that will run separately. All of ours are currently D-Link too, so it is helpful to stick with what you know!!! I know I can daisy chain etc. However, if I can star out from the core then it "should" be faster especially IF I can keep all my storage, external connections & server at the core. Oh potentially moving to fibre is part of the reason for this thread really. [/QUOTE]
