One of the benefits of having a back to back connection, is that you can use bonding mode balance-rr which gives much higher throughput, when using two network cards. if yopu want to move towards high bandwidth (10Gbit) it also saves a lot of money, as the 10Gbit-Switches are quite expensive.

I am open to suggestions on what and how to test. Honestly, I am no expert either. I guess the best way would be to run a disk benchmark such as Bonnie on the primary server: once with and once without the switch. Any statistically significant difference between the two would most likely be due to the switch. Due to the flooding in Thailand, we were unable to procure hard drives last month. So, I shelved my storage project until August. As such, I will not be able to help much until the late summer (or winter depending on the hemisphere).
