If you do have the time, I would love to see any benchmarks you could perform! I had debated whether or not to use a switch between the two storage servers for quite some time. I decided simply to factor out the switch to save room on the switch and reduce complexity. I simply assumed that it could not hurt performance (but not necessarily improve performance) to remove the switches. However, we have yet to buy our hardware side have no way to actually test that.
