ASUSTOR Unveils the AS-U2.5G USB-C to 2.5GbE Adapter
ASUSTOR today has introduced the AS-U2.5G USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet controller. The new AS-U2.5G provides even faster Ethernet speeds by allowing laptops, desktops and NAS devices to easily upgrade their network speeds beyond Gigabit speeds.
The AS-U2.5G is also backwards compatible with Gigabit Ethernet and 100-Megabit Ethernet using USB 3.2 Type-C. Supporting Windows, macOS, Linux and ADM; laptops, desktops and NAS devices demonstrates that the AS-U2.5G is virtually universal in its compatibility and breaks almost any device out of the Gigabit barrier without PCIe. The AS-U2.5G also features a one year warranty for peace of mind.AS-U2.5G specifications:

And I just got an Asustor 5304T NAS so am looking closely at this.
10GbE would be nice but most consumers are running SATA drives in their NAS or home servers which top out at around 200MB/s sequential anyway.
