Found this on a Netgear document:
10 Gigabit Ethernet provides greater scalability than multiple Gigabit Ethernet links, resulting in a more futureproof network. Up to eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet links can be aggregated into a virtual 80-Gbps connection.
So unlike Gigabit Ethernet aggregating might in fact double the effective bandwidth per computer.
In their example they actually use two switches and run one cable to switch 1 and the other cable to switch 2. The QNAP would be connected in a similar way. 10Gig 1 goes to switch 1 and 10Gig 2 goes to switch 2. This is effectively doubling the speed because you have two unique 10Gig connections thru two unique switches which takes advantage of both 10Gig ports on both ends.
Definitely liking this concept!
