Now that mobile devices are getting this powerful, we need them to start supporting larger storage again.

  They are expandable now up to 40Gb/s per tech specs

  The iPad has options up to 2TB SSD and supports USB4 external storage along with 10Gbit ethernet.

    The tests I’ve seen say that (depending on how you implement it) an iPad Pro M1 only pulls 5Gbps (directly powering) to 7.7Gbps (powered) out of a 10GbE card. Has there been some development in this area?

      Not sure. But I'm sure 5Gbps is probably good enough for any work you'd be doing on an ipad.

        I'd generally agree, with the caveat that running a video editing workflow off of a NAS/SAN would want all the speed it can get, which is 10GbE at this time on MacOS/iPad OS (AQC107 chip). So for copying files over it's bit slower, but for working with stuff it could be a pretty big issue. I really don't know; I haven't tried it as my iPad Pro is an earlier non-TB model.
