That would tend to rule out any cabling.

Are you testing during the resync? That definitely will slow the NAS down

~850 Mbps down and some ~520Mbps up - yeah I know it's not "slow" but as said before a huge difference between up/down
I'm not sure I would say it exactly that way, but there is at least one disk read and two disk writes that need to happen for every write to the raid array. However, unlike read requests, this I/O can be can be queued.

You should make sure that the disk write cache is enabled, and the "disable full system journaling" option is also checked on the system/performance tab in frontview. BTW, if you don't have a UPS protecting the NAS you should get one - especially if you are using these settings.
Co-located means in the same location. Yours are not, so consolidating them into one bigger switch isn't possible (unless you rewire the house).
