I don't plan to nor am I trying to get 10 gigabytes over the internet I just want to be able to have the best connection to my USB storage device as well as have a connection to the internet. When I'm transferring 10 or 12 movies from my main Drive to my USB external drive that's connected via USB 3.0 I'm only getting about 50 or 60 megabytes per second transfer rate from my main computer to the drive with the 10 gigabit connection I should be able to maximize the USB 3.0 skip abilities with the way my way to set up and guess between 120 and 240 megabytes per second give or take.FWIW, smallnetbuilder.com was only able to get 103.7 megabytes per second out of the USB 3.0 port (link). Even a Gigabit port can handle that.
It will be interesting to see how the speeds of the internet and your usb attached drive do on gaint pipe line from the normal small pipe line of a cat6 or cat7 and what your ping times are only if your isp had a 10giga internet service to go with your new super high lan to push it's limits.
The SFP+ is a LAN port. The rest of the ports, including the WAN port, are Gigabit Ethernet. How are you going to get 10 Gbps from the Internet?
I know that 1 giga is the current limit of lan ports on routers today I would hope that 10giga or faster could become standard cost is the main limiting factor now but should come down as time goes on.

Of course you can't.
If you connected a NAS to the SFP+ port, then it could deliver >1 gbit total throughput to multiple simultaneous clients. Similarly if the PC makes connections to multiple devices at the same time it can also exceed 1 gbit total. But the flow to each other device is limited to 1 gigabit in each direction.
