Greetings,

I'm looking for the best way to setup my NAS.

Unfortunately it will be located away from main system, so was looking at getting a mini pc or laptop to connect to it near by..

Unfortunately also I only have 2 cat5's going to it that was planning on LAG to main switch......
SO was hoping I could use 1 of the other NICs to connect the laptop to for management if I'm working on it locally..... hate to run back and forth between my closet and my living room to perform upgrades.

And thoughts would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks
