This is similar to my setup and experience as well. I have a multi-purpose server running Samba with 10 Gbps SFP+. I have 2.5 GbE on my desktop and easily saturate that when transferring files. I even use the network for stuff like old game ROMs and ISOs for emulation. The random access times are still magnitudes better than I’d be able to get with any HDD. |

Yeah, ditto. My desktop and switches along the path to the server/router also have 10gbit fiber connections.
Stupid question: Are you aware of the 10Gtek company? If you're unaware, my experience over the past many years is that they sell inexpensive SFP+ modules that work just fine... so if you're ever in the market for more modules, give them a try (if you haven't already).
