Ended up with a Mellanox ConnectX-4 card. Backwards compatible to 10Gbe. It has two SFP+ ports, so I got a couple LC/Fiber optics for it, a nice long fiber line, a nice 16 port all Rj45 copper 10GBE switch along with 2 SFP+. In a few days my network will be %100 10GBE. The only bottleneck is poor unraid. :( The switch I got is the Netgear XS716T 16-Port 10-Gigabit Copper Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 Copper/SFP+ Combo Ports. Wasn't cheap, but options are really limited in this particular space. Heck 10Gbps should have been available to consumers a long time ago. And switch prices should have been like what are 1Gpbs prices. I just had to do it.
