Does 10G nics for home servers actually do anything? I have a gigabit router and the motherboard on my server is 2.5G. Wouldn’t the 10G be throttled once it hits the 1G router and then only send out that speed to all other devices? Would I actually be getting better speeds than what I pay for also?
For the LAN, faster local transfer if you use huge file or if you have a lot of computers accessing your server.
It’s also useful if you live in Europe since a lot of country has 10Gbps as long as you have access to fiber since half a decade now (the krone world wide being Switzerland with a 25Gbps home offer on dedicated fiber).
In your case, router will be the bottleneck so not worth as long as the router isn’t upgraded, you’re always tied to the slowest part.
