2026 Goal : dedicated High Speed Transfer Setup SD to NAS

I am trying to set up a dedicated SD transfer station to move content from SD cards to a QNAP NAS drive.

I have some components to start the build: an M4 Mac Mini, and @ QNAP TS-932PX with two 10Gbit ports, as well as a couple different SFP+ 10Gbit network switchs - (QNAP and MicroTik)

I ordered a Thunderbolt rack mount card reader to add to the kit.

As a quick test I set Jumbo Blocks and size to 9000 for settings on both NAS and Mac Mini. A direct connect between NAS and MAC using a Cat 6e cable and a 10GBit Transceiver still only show peak speeds at Writes : 2050-300 MB/s Reads at 1025 MB/s.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what is needed to make this system successful?

I'm curious if my workflow should be Thunderbolt transfer to the MAC, the. Transfer to NAS as a second step ???

Thanks for ideas and help.
