does it exist?

10gbps over a usb 3.1 cable sounds like an awesome enclosure even if it's on;y for one pc's use.
 
By definition, that would not be a NAS. It would be direct attach storage.

There are some devices that can either attach via USB or via Ethernet. I think there are also some that offer a thunderbolt option. They are mostly marketed toward Mac users.

Yeah been thinking about getting one of these as I have a couple of unopened 2TB WD Reds sitting in my HDD boneyard that could make a decent speedy data dump rather than my NAS. Sometimes you just want to switch on some faster than Ethernet connected storage that doesn't need to be powered up all the time.
