I am wondering what method would be best for reading video files from a NAS over a home network. These video files will be either 4k prores or RAW so read and write speed will be very important, what do you all recommend?

Reading for what purpose? I assume video editing, but there are other things you can do with video files over a network, so I'm just making sure.

Should have stated, yes video editing.

What kind of equipment do you already have?

 

-Your current network infrastructure?

-Your network adapter at the PC? (Any free PCIe/PCI slots?)

-Do you already have a NAS?

 

Do you want to edit directly from network or from your PC? I would advise to use the internal disk of your PC.

Currently I am using standard network 1gbps to a nas. As for open slots both have open 16x slots

Slow won't work due to bitrate issues, so what is something that is able to handle 4k RAW

You can give NFS a try.
