Hi all, I'm new here and have searched to try to find what I'm after with no avail, and you lot seem to know what you're on about!
I would like to see if you can find an issue with my proposed setup, I work in 3D using a lot of data and am moving into a new home in a few weeks, a perfect time to upgrade my ageing synology 1 bay nas drive which is practically full now, and slow.
I would like to be able to work off the NAS using a 10g connection, but I am not very knowledgeable with networks, so what I am thinking about is:
Build a cheap AMD system with a 10g add in-card, comes to about £380, buy a Netgear GS110MX switch that has 2 10g ports, plug my pc into one and the nas into another. I will have a 4tb WD Red SSD in there, that backs up to a 4TB HDD overnight, and/or an external off site internet backup thing like Polar Backup for cold storage. I would also like a couple of IP cameras , maybe a wifi extender, ps5/xbox etc..
What do you guys think, will this work as a 10g lan? I was also curious about managed and unmanaged switches, will I need a managed one to avoid my router dumbing the network down to gigabit speed, unsure of how this works with a mix of 10g and 1g devices and routers, i'm in the UK btw.
Thanks
