Why would you ever need link aggregation to get 5G throughput, leaving you with only 3 ports? That seems like an uncommon use case

10gb 5–8 ports(ethernet) usually brings fans and people have these in their offices next to them.

This guy has done all the research and his website/instructions will walk you through everything.


I got a 6450 because I was able to replace the loud fan with a noctua one.

I want to hear all these home use cases for >1Gb. A quality 4K stream from Apple is 25-30Mbps.

"I have a job that requires me to push multi-GB files to/from the cloud on a daily basis" people, you are the extreme minority, so no need to reply.

And for those with a legitimate need, why wouldn't you go straight to 10? 2.5 feels like a cash grab.

It's the "more faster youtubez and interwebz" effect.

This is $100. A 10G is about $300. If you have 2 gbps internet and just want to be able to use what you're paying for even if it's just for faster downloads, why spend the extra $200?

I'll upgrade from 1Gb at some point, but probably straight to 10 like you said. Hobby photographer and would love for transfers from my editing computer to my nas to be faster. I have sata ssd write caches on the nas, so really 5Gb would saturate that, but they could always be upgraded to small nvme drives for cheap as well.

Because some 10G switches can't negotiate speeds correctly for 2.5G (very common for those old cheap switches). So for example you have a 1.2G internet connection and a AP that can handle a 2.5G connection (much more common than a 10G port) well now your stuck with a switch that can only negotiate down to 1G or up to 10G but no in-between. Also let's say your run a USB adapter to your smart TV the fastest and cheap is a 2.5G adapter and so now your in the same situation. As for why people need that much bandwidth we'll 1G is already starting to be easily saturated so why not future proof.

Yeah, I'm going to have to call bs on folks saturating their 1G connections. As for needing to connect to 2.5 devices (APs as you mentioned), that just reinforces my point. It's a cash grab by vendors.

Why would someone run a USB adapter to their smart TV? You either get an ATV4K or Shield which both can be wired and do it right, or even if you're using the built in smart crap, either way the most you're going to need is 30Mbps for a 4K stream.
