I made a post in here a while back on this, but I have been hesitant to pull the trigger for fear of buying the wrong solution. To recap, I have a PC and a NAS that I want to communicate at speeds higher than 1 GbE. I am trying to find a very good solution but also as affordable as I can get away with. The PC's adapter and the NAS both use RJ-45. I already have CAT7 cables. If I buy this:

Will it indeed give me 10 GbE between the NAS and PC if both are connected through those two ports that support 10 GbE? I believe it will since, as I understand it, the communication would be done 100% through the switch in that case, and not use the router at all. Is that right? I currently have the NAS connecting directly to the PC, but when extracting archives from the NAS in Windows, it seems to be still going through the 1 GbE router for some reason, which locks up access to the NAS (since it hits 100% utilization). This is what I am trying to get around. Thanks much in advance!
