10gbe switch?

Lots of great points as always, answering them (shout if I miss them):
- Currently I have two PCs connecting to the NAS needing 10gbe (there are technically lots of others, but these are less 10GBe critical - like media PC in the lounge and so on)
- NAS - it's got 2 x 2TB NVMe (OS and cache) and 8x 10gb HDD in RAID 6 currently
- PCs have Proart x670e MBs which have 10GBe ports and the NAS has a dedicated SFP+ pair (as well as the standard 10GBe sockets)

So I guess the question might be what the max speed I could aim for is - am guessing with RAID 6 it's 6x read speed of Seagate NAS HDD drives?!
 
i got one of those ali 4 x 2.5g and 2 x sfp switches. does anyone know the correct screw size to use to all mount it? iv had a look in my big screw box scrap pile and cant find anything that fits in the slot holes under it.

Whatever will clear the slot, surely? Just measure it.
 
That's the odd thing iv tried various screws and none seem to fit. The head needs to be more shallow.
I may just have to file down the screws I got at hand

edit: got this sorted, used grinder to shape the profile of screw head to fit.

Usually those sorts are no.6

Odd, because it's not a size that many people will have lying around.
