Thank you for your kind words and being a loyal follower! Setting up a 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps network can significantly enhance your data transfer speeds. To achieve this, you'll need compatible hardware. If you're looking for a switch that supports higher speeds, I recommend checking out this list of 10Gbe switches. Keep in mind that if you're connecting just a NAS and a PC, you can directly connect them without a switch using 10Gbe network cards on both devices and a Cat6a cable. If you plan to expand to more computers, getting a switch is a great idea.
Regarding the DS923+, it supports its own 10Gbe LAN card, but there's also an interesting option using a USB 5Gbe LAN adapter from QNAP. This can offer you additional flexibility if you're looking for alternatives. Please note that for the DS923+, only their own 10Gbe LAN card is officially supported, but you may be able to use a third-party USB 5Gbe adapter with a little hack.
As for the QNAP TS-453Be, it's more flexible in terms of compatibility with PCIe cards. However, it's generally recommended to use PCIe cards from the same brand for the best compatibility and performance. QNAP has a good reputation for offering flexible options, which might suit your needs.
