An inexpensive way to connect to faster Ethernet. The bandwidth is greater than a single spinning disk on the NAS can use. Allows you to use the spinning NAS drive as if it were installed on your computer. There is no difference in read and write speeds. Maybe the raid array could load it completely. SSD NAS can, but few people have it. I'm using Category 6 cabling. I've also tested with 100 feet of 5e. Worked fine with that. I would recommend if you have a use case for it.
