Buyer rule
Start with the actual network path
Start with NAS ports, workstation ports, switch speed, router handoff, cable route, backup power, and the files that move every day.
NAS network prices
Make the NAS path match the workstation and backup habit
A NAS upgrade is not just a box on the shelf. The switch, router, network cards, cables, backup power, and desk workflow have to line up before the GPU workstation benefits from faster storage access.

Risk
Avoid upgrading the wrong link
The common mistake is upgrading the NAS or PC adapter while leaving the switch, cable, or router path stuck at the old bottleneck.
