Hi seagate_surfer, Thank you for your extensive response. I see that I have to adjust my expectations. I notice that I may be able to opt for a cheaper option where I can still use a new 10Gbit network, but do not immediately get high in costs. I'm going to have a look around to see if there are some nice options that might extend to an NVME drive, so that in the future I may be able to get more performance from my NAS. Thank you :)

Hi all, I am currently looking to install a 10 Gbit network at home. However, I also want to upgrade my NAS to 10 Gbit. I am currently considering purchasing the "QNAP TVS-951x" NAS. I want to use the NAS in RAID5, but I wonder what minimum hard drive / SSD (cache) I need to get close to a 10Gbit read / write. It seems to me that it is not a logical step to upgrade to a 10Gbit network if my NAS does not provide the performance to deliver data at high speed. What kind of HDD / SSDs should I think of so that this is at least an upgrade? I was thinking of 5 x Seagate Ironwolf ST8000VN0022 8 TB as the 5 HDD drives. Regarding the SSD, I have no idea. Who has experience with this and can possibly advise me? By the way, all advise is welcome Thanks, Michael V
