Veeam Backup & Replication • ReFS. Using eSATA PCI-e card connected to a synology = 6Gbps?

NTFS formatted backup repository disk is far too slow for Veeam merging

Need to use ReFS but only have option for external storage.

However:
a) iSCSI too slow as only 1Gbps switches and 1Gpbs NIC.
b) USB3.x not compatible with ReFS as it's removable storage and not supported.

So how about:

1. Buy a eSATA 6Gpbs PCI-e card in the server
2. connected to Synology DS720+ through the eSATA port
3. Format the disk to ReFS

Would that work at the full 6Gbps?
