Thank you I saw this thread too. My drives are a bit slower at 5400rpm and most commenters there have 7200rpm and raid 5 which is a bit faster than my raid 6. Also I wasn’t sure how ssd caching helps if at all.

Yes my plan is to get an ax89x which has 2 10gbe ports, a 10gbe card for my nas, and a 10gbe adapter for my MacBook. With only two devices no need for a switch. Good point on reviews I will look around.
