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?
