I work with a vast collection of unprocessed photographs, which takes up about 6 terabytes of storage space on my 4-bay network-attached storage (NAS) device - a DS418. Despite being limited to 1 GbE speeds, the process of loading each of the raw images, which are around 60-70 MB in size, only takes half a second. I occasionally use the smb multichannel flag to improve my bandwidth when connecting to my Mac through two gigabit USB-C Ethernet adapters, but it doesn't make much of a difference. Editing over Wi-Fi using my Wi-Fi 6 connection, which usually runs at 700 Mbit/s, is also not an issue. Although having a 10 GbE connection would be nice, it is not a priority since the NAS hard drives' speed would become the limiting factor before reaching that level, and the cost of upgrading the hardware to support it is prohibitively expensive. Adding a solid-state drive (SSD) cache to my NAS could be beneficial, particularly when using a 10 GbE connection. Synology provides 10 GbE add-on cards for a small portion of their stations.
