I wanted to know if it is possible to connect my desktop (Win 7 Pro) to my NAS running with Server 2008 R2 Datacenter using 2 10Gb E cards using crossover. I would still want to use the motherboards Gb E to connect to the main network. Is it possible to have two networks connected at the same time?
I really want to get a connection faster then 1 Gb E to my main computer from the NAS. As far as I know I can't use usb 3.0 because no bridges exist for that yet like they do for USB 2.0.
There are fairly cheap PCIe cards for 10 Gb E but no decent priced routers. I can get a 10 Gb E card for 240 and even if it isn't the best card it has to be way faster then Gb E. I could get away with 2 cards making total cost around 500 bucks verse 1000-2000 with a router. Is that possible to have two separate networks?
Is there a better way I don't know about?
