10G on RN516?
I just read the "ReadyNAS 300/500 Series Network Attached Storage (NAS) Data Sheet" and was surprised to see that there's a 10gb option for the RN516. I have a 516 and would love a 10g interface but I...
I believe this is the one I purchased:

The solution isn't elegant, but it works, and Netgear isn't standing up to its promises (again). I'm not near my nas, but I believe I installed the card and used a short cable to attach the 10gb card which isn't securely mounted. Something like that.
My only consolation in implementing such a less than ideal solution is that with the 516 being my 4th readynas this made me very comfortable with it being my last. I have a duo, an nv+, an ultra 6+, and now the 516 and I've had disappointments with each and every one (to be fair my biggest complaint with the 6+ is that very shortly after dropping the cash on it the newer models were announced and that model was left behind). After this disappointment I built a linux host with 6 drives plus ssd boot drive, hardware raid, xfs, 10g, linux, and it screams with regard to io and apps like plex. But I digress, 10g on the 516 does work, but i probably voided my warranty.
