Hey peeps

so ive been debating if its worth upgrade my switch to 2.5 gig connections. The only devices that would use this potential would be my pfsense, proxmox vms running all my docker services, and my nas (5400 rpm drives). I do use nfs quiet a bit but I only have 1 gig up and down from my isp. If i were to upgrade the switch I would prob upgrade my unifi AP to the enterprise edition to support that as well. I'm still digging in to if any devices are actually saturating the 1 gig links but I also like to future proof stuff. so the price tag would be around 1400 bucks. 2 2.5 gig AP's (u6 ent) and a 2.5 switch (ent 24 poe). Also, if anyone has any insight into 7200 drives for my nas I've been hesitant due to posts saying vibration/heat gets worse but the 5400 drives dont support anything over 10ish Tb's and im trying to get up to 20 Tb a drives. or maybe all SSD? Any insight or suggestions are appreciated.
