I'm on the opposite side of this spectrum, I find it hard to justify even the gigabit ones for personal use 😅
I'm mostly into text content on the Internet and I only get reminded of maximum network throughputs when I need to copy large amounts of video before going somewhere for more than a couple of days/nights — even in this case, storage is usually the main bottleneck 🤷

@m0xEE @kaia @flacs Yeah, I realize I work with some edge cases. At work we have a big video SAN/library system and have to transfer great gobs of gigabytes back and forth for video editing and production, so I have actually been in the situation of staring at a transfer running over gigabit lan and thinking "this is taking a while"

True, there are certainly use cases for that — especially in video production, in this case you can also afford SSD-based mirrored arrays to keep the storage end covered. But for personal use IDK — modern wireless standards, even those are more than enough for most of my needs.
