3 Things to Know About the Synology DS420+’s LAN Ports

It has two 1GbE LAN ports with link aggregation support This is standard for Synology’s plus-series and provides enough bandwidth for a four-bay home NAS.

A single Gigabit connection is sufficient for media streaming Most media files don’t require more than 1Gbps, so the dual ports are overkill for typical home use.

Link aggregation won’t speed up single-file transfers It only increases total throughput across multiple connections, not individual file speeds.
