Daisychain the Pro 6

5 port 10/100 switch powered by USB (off the back of the NAS) ~ $25 -> http://www.zunidigital.com/?page_id=182 Or just search USB NIC on Amazon, ~ $9 and up. You could connect each NAS to a separate NIC using static IP's. Of course Netgear makes a nice 5 port gigabit switch with external power -> http://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/unmanaged/GS105.aspx#tab-techspecs (they also have the 'home' version, the GS605) but I prefer the design of the GS105. All would work, switch would be preferable.

Just wanted to add that if you want to play with bonding you'd be better off with a managed or "semi-managed" switch, since they have the ability to configure LACP in the switch. For instance the prosafe-plus line from Netgear. The GS105E datasheet claims support for trunking (though it doesn't explicitly say LACP).

Yes, I realized that right after I posted and added some comments on the pro-6. It can saturate a gbps connection.
