Just been in a 1 hour phone call to India which has done my head in.
I might start a new chat on that one after I have taken my pills to calm down.
So this Hub 5 only has one 2.5gb port whilst my switch has 1000mb ports. My Ethernet cable is plugged into the First port at top for connection, My UGREEN NAS is plugged directly into the Hub 5 - 2.5gb port, so is that correct that My NAS will get the 2.5gb speed? NAS is All new to me and because of my illness I finding it hard to follow. How do I check the speed of my NAS?/ THANKS.

All these speeds are theoretical maxes anyway. Real world test would be to copy a large folder of small files to and from your NAS and record the speeds then copy a folder of large files to and from you will see the larger files will move a lot faster than the small ones. Just take notes and see . With a 1gb switch you will never max the NAS anyway unless you connect to it on 3 devices and download upload and so on but then you got IO issues which will effect the speed
There are so many variables with the NAS also what array you are using and disk types
