Which NIC on the PRO is fastest

[lbn]

I am only using the 5200pro on the LAN. I am running multipathing and therefor using both NICs with different subnets.

Which one should I set at the preferred - the WAN or the LAN - or doesn't it matter?

Regards, Lars.

What i do know is that Thecus has placed a extra NIC on the NAS motherboard just to have the failover connection i guess. cache.futurelooks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/thecus_5200pro-8.jpg .... I would usually say that the NIC that is on the motherboard would be faster. But im not sure if its indeed also in this case. I myself use the one onboard (Lower one) cache.futurelooks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/thecus_5200pro-5.jpg

They're both the same speed and both onboard. The only difference is the routing/NAT on the ports.
