I have many (2)12, (4)16 and (2)18TB Exos' and I was wondering if I could boost my transfer speeds any more.

I was always curious if a NAS server plugged via a 2.5gbps ethernet port would provide any more speed over just a SATA 3 connection direct to the PC.

Or if a HDD dock with USB-C USB 3.whatever Gen whatever (10gbps) would be any quicker? I'm guessing it's all limited to SATA 3 speeds anyways. It's sad that there isn't a faster way to move stuff around for us hoarders when it comes to spinning disks.

(don't recommend switching to SSDs, lol. I trying to be cost effective)
