My home network is a 1 Gbit setup with a QNAP NAS and ditto switch. This works fairly well but is rather slow when I process large amounts of data. I bought a dedicated SSD for my workstation, that works, but what I actually want is a fast NAS that delivers data over a fast network. My workstation already has a 10 Gbit network card and I want to upgrade the NAS and the switch. Theoretically I could speed my network access 10-fold.
The problem is in the NAS. I currently have a QNAP TS 253 pro and I can upgrade to for example a TVS-951X, containing 5 bays for 3.5" units and 4 2.5" bays for M.2 units. The trouble is that all bays have a SATA III connection which limit the throughput to about 6Gbit/s. When I see reviews of this thing this neatly comes out. This is a waste for the M.2 disks as they could easily get to the theoretical maximum speed of 10 Gbit/s.
Is there any way to overcome this speed limit or are there systems that connect directly to the M.2 interface bypassing the SATA? I am looking to systems with a Linux type OS.
