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?!
