This is exactly where I ended up recently. I went from noisy and power hungry Cisco/Juniper 10G switches to a silent Ubiquiti GigE switch with PoE and haven’t been happier.

10G was cool but I can’t recall a single instance where I really wish I had it back.

Same. It only really made a small difference to my most transfer-heavy workflows. Even a fast NAS is still slow relative to local storage (it’s not just about sequential transfer speeds).

I’m sure I’d feel differently if I was doing something like video editing where I had to move large files back and forth frequently and wait for them to be ready.
