    would it work to connect the first readynas to the second direct via 10gbe nics  and then the second to the switch which makes the 10gbe connection to the pc?

     


    If you do that, then you won't be able to reach the ReadyNAS that is directly connected to the second ReadyNAS.

     

    I'd just connect one NAS as 10gbe initially (connecting the other as gigabit), and then upgrade the switch later on.  

     

    Though if one NAS is only used by the PC, you could just get two 10gbase-T cards for the PC, and directly connect that NAS to the PC.
