Hi Guys, question for you,
This probably has come up before... I have a few PCs hardwired on my network at home, and unfortunelty it's only 1000Mb link. I'll get there some day . Anyway, I need to redo some Raid pools, I am looking at ways to speed up the backup process from one Backup to another (two different PCs). At the moment, even 2.5x increase in speed would be great, so I am thinking I could link to the two PCs with a crossover cable and create an adhoc network link between them... buying two 2.5Gbe USB nic and a crossover adapter.
It's easy enough to hook up two PCs directly with a crossover cable an adhoc network, but how do I do this AND leave the existing 1Gbe Nic network running? I have not seen anyone spell that out.
Thanks in advance!
