On my desktop, the onboard gigabit (and the add on card I am planning), are
on the PCIe bus (internally, and a 1x). At the server end, the disks are all
on PCIe (and I know I can get about 140 G/sec out of them locally). SO I am
hoping that I can get some more speed out of my setup. Of course, my switch
will only let me have 4 teams in total, and I'm using a couple of them for
this... but it will still be nice.
