Maybe worth it to have a spare in case of problems?

It doesn't suck, that's for sure.[1]

Because of our tiny size, we went with the inexpensive (~$900) Netgear XS708E.  
(There are just three servers connected via 10Gb.)

What switches are you using?

I'm just beginning to prepare the environment at $Work for the transition from 
VMware to Hyper-V.  Part of the exercise is implementing 10Gb Ethernet for the 
first time.

I work in the SMB space at a company with an IT staff of two.  Consequently, I 
don't get too jazzed about much in the way of infrastructure these days, but I 
gotta tell ya, it's slicker the greased owl sh** to see sustained file 
transfers on the order of 750MB/sec (without any network tweaking at all).

More info. as things progress, but, for today at least, it was was pretty cool 
throwing multi-GB files around in mere seconds.  (Heck, it was hard finding 
something big enough to test with!)
