I would recommend you upgrade the ram to the highest value you can on the TS-470. Also upgrade the firmware to the latest available before you start setting it up and playing with configuring it or actually adding important data to it. The WD RED 3TB or 4TB drives work well with this model line.
To use the 10GBe adaptor, you will need to have a 10GBe port. Either on a switch, a dedicated computer or on another NAS unit. You might also consider that some motherboards offer 10GBe ports on board.
Any of those options are costly right now, and none of the examples I have given above will allow saturation of that 10GBe port unless you have another NAS, computer or server with multiple SSD's in RAID0 configuration on a dedicated RAID card.
Keep in mind that you have 2x 1GBe ports on board and you can expand that to 4x 1GBe ports. This will allow you to setup LAG connections with your existing (or at least, much cheaper than 10GBe LAN) hardware.
To see if there is a more suitable QNAP model available, try using their NAS selector tool.
