Direct connect between vm and unraid server??

I did some searching and couldnt seem to find a solid answer maybe I'm using the wrong terminology or wrong wording sometimes I get stuck in my ways of search and need some help.

I have a Unraid server which i transferred a ton of files on to to free up my portable drives. Well in the millions of files. I tried using a program to sort them which this program failed so of course i didnt delete either files and am now sorting through millions of files to delete duplicates.

My problem is sorting through these files via a gigabit ethernet connection to either my wireless macbook or my wired desktop seems to be an OK way but not the most efficient the loading times to the files seem to be a bit atrocious. 

Is there a way to directly connect to the storage server say with a USB of some kind or another way to add direct connection from the VM running on the unraid server to my server files with less latency and bigger throughput?

I have 10gb ethernet card being used by unraid unsure if i could get this 10gb and split the ports and set one to the vm and one to the unraid? I guess that would give me much bigger throughput. 

The process of sorting files is daunting enough much less needing to wait to delete or wait to move files just trying to streamline this task a bit. Any help would be amazing.

Thank you
