Can it link aggregation

[TH Gamer]

hi everybody i want to buy the netgear FS524 Fast Ethernet Switch but i want to know if it can support link aggregation for my nas with 4 ethernet ports Thanks

Why a Fast Ethernet switch over a Gigabit switch?

The switch you mention doesn't support aggregation btw.

i'm trying to keep it cheap and also it's for home with about 3 laptops

8-port gigabit switch will cost you $30

thanks but the one that im looking at now is only £10 so i wonded if i could use link aggregation but if i put 4 ethernet plugs in would it work the same with out link aggregation?

Link aggregation is for redundancy, it doesn't increase bandwidth but just allows you to have multiple different users accessing it on different links. A single gigabit port would be far better since you won't get 400Mbps of throughput either way with a fast ethernet switch, regardless of LACP support or not.

ok thanks i thought that link aggregation would increase the speed of the coppying to the nas. 

i'll buy the gigabyte switch later. Thanks

Yah, it's only for increases multiple transfers from different locations

SMB3 can do it but the implementation isn't really there yet.
