5GB to USB-C, am I missing something or could this be a way to speed up transfers by creating a second network (if you have a 1GB home network) to transfer files. (www.monoprice.com)

I have a home NAS, and have what I call NAS2 which is a secondary backup of the NAS. If I were to put one of these on each computer and run a short cable between them would it be a 5GB network? Understand the potential bottleneck of the speed of the physical drives copying, but simply asking could I set up a network between the two and would it be 5GB. Cable is short as machines are next to each other.

Have to think I might missing something, but this looks to be a pretty cheap high speed local network.

Thoughts?
