It runs at 100mb so really unless you have a lot of Gb cards again no cause for upgrade and even then how often are you shifting Tbs around a network.
Even then you could just put a Gigabit switch between them and the router

P.s if your going to set the access times by mac address just remember that Mac addresses are easily spoofed.
Lock the thing to only allow authorised Mac addresses

Also statically assign IP's by mac address in the DHCP server if possible otherwise they can just clone your mac address and the DHCP server might issue a new IP to the cloned mac (I always thought it was impossible to have 2 devices with the same Mac address on a network but I did it once and it worked).
