Note that 1GB/sec is all of a 10 gigabit ethernet line. You probably have, at most, 1Gb between your phone and your NAS if you are using 802.11AC. So 100MB/sec or one tenth that speed for you, maybe much less. That said, if your NAS had a UFS slot you could 'sneakernet' the chip from the phone to the NAS and clone it then pull it out and put it back in your phone. That could conceivably happen in just a few minutes if your NAS CPU and IO system could keep up. No word on their write endurance that I saw.

It's weird how lagging home 10GbE is, given it's so old tech now and the adults have had 40/100Gbe for 7-ish years. Anyone know how much you have to pay for a 10 GbE NAS appliance? (Not that I'd get a NAS appliance on my net anyway, they all seem to be gaping security holes and generally give a crap-IoT or crap-enterprise vibe - the role is well served by x86 hw + normal OS options)

  You can get cheap refurbished 10GbE cards on eBay. I got a couple of Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards for like $30 or so and get 1.1GByte/s without tuning between my NAS and my Win10 desktop PC. The MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN is a relatively cheap 4 port 10GbE switch.

    You can get a brand new Mellanox card for $210 from their website, shell out $215 and you can get 25G ethernet. It's not really that much to pay once you consider it an expensive component (like a NVMe drive) rather than something that's virtually free (like a 8GB flash drive). The sad truth is that a 10G NIC is something that requires a reasonable amount of modern silicon to produce, so it's not going to be cheap (yes they were producing them back in the 130nm era but that was an act of insanity).

      You need quite spiffy hardware to get useful utilization of a 25G connection though, it's ~3GB/s after all. For me the 10G cards are plenty, given that my NAS is all spinning rust.

  My challenge is finding 10GbE switches for a reasonable price.

I just learned what this obscure piece of technology called sneakernet is and now I see it everywhere.
