What is a 10GbE Lan cable? ..you mean CAT6(+)?

Using more than one LAN port would only benefit speeds of more than one client.

So instead, buy a faster NIC (2.5GbE+ and put it in the NAS (+switch and device NICs))

I'm using aggregation LAN in my NAS, but since I only connect one client at a time mostly it does not change anything on speed.
