No , you are misunderstanding . You need ALL of the components to support 10 Gbps , not just some of them . nbspYou need 10 Gbps capable NAS 10 Gbps capable PC 10 Gbps capable switch . You have a 1 Gbps switch in your router . If you don ' t have ALL of those things you are limited to 1 Gbps . Then you need an array that is fast enough to take advantage of it . Those things are expensive . nbspIf you just have a fast array but normal networking equipment you still only have 1 Gbps and thus Cat 5 is fine . <| sep |> I don ' t particularly care about the CBC , but her attitude towards it on principle is definitely selling me . <| sep |> In my opinion it also shows an autistic lack of perspective to defend actions which wouldn ' t be permitted in privately owned communities just because the government is currently managing the property . Joining voluntaryism to ethical nihilism is a horrible move .
