Oh. That's a no brainer for anyone who regularly uses their network though? I have a 70gb music library I move around a lot for my mp3 player because I'm still playing with conversion settings. The difference between a 15 minute transfer vs a 3 minute transfer is huge if it keeps coming up. Before that it was large amounts of family vhs recordings getting moved. Platee has their own example just below me too.

1gbps is plenty for like, the family watching Netflix or YouTube or whatever, but anyone running a homelab will eventually run into long wait times when playing around with the server and nas at just 1gbps. Maybe you don't care and just wait it out, but for me at least, part of the fun is getting new parts, and then actually seeing those parts getting used entirely. A 16 port sfp switch isn't necessarily cheap, but around 300$ means it could be this months hobby purchase without too much fuss.
