Serious question, what can? What do you need bandwidth wise for that? 2 Gb? 10 Gb?
Over a NETWORK, 10GigE will do that just fine. And there are several faster options than that if needed.

@Dashrender said:
While sure people like Scott want to do this crazy 4/8K video stuff, that's either a maxed out prosumer thing, or clearly mid class business stuff, and you should be through some real capital at solving that problem, not chump change.
If you are dealing with a video production business, which is a very common thing, you need this all of the time.

Yep. To bad that would be way to expensive..
Heck 10GB wifi would be really nice too.

Sure, but it's not going to be cheap!

Sure it is. 10GigE is not that expensive. You could get desktop motherboards with dual 10GigE in 2014: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8781/asrock-x99-ws-e-10g-motherboard-review-dual-10gbaset-for-prosumers

Oh well, if you have a Mac, nothing is going to be cheap.

Thunderbolt to 10GBe is $500

The first one I found is $700. But that's a super high end board with dual 10GigE built in and able to handle 128GB of RAM from 2014. If you are doing high end video processing, a few hundred extra for your Mobo is going to be expected anyway. This would not add that much onto the overall system cost. Often people are dropping $3K on these machines already.

It's dumb to me that no mac has 10GBe on board yet.

Ehhh cost of admission to the 10GBe club. Really if you're after performance that'll be couch cushion change after you've got a sexy NAS and HDD's

Just doesn't seem to be the Mac wheelhouse. They have very specific markets.

yeah anymore it's consumer-ish not Pro.. Sadly video codecs just work better on macs because developers focus their time there more.

LOL - like I said - NOT Cheap!
Then how much is a switch, assuming you need one? The chassis will be rather expensive as well for those drives.

http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-ProSAFE-12-Port-10GBase-T-XS712T-100NES/dp/B00BWBLL6SAbout $1550 to start.

$850 for an 8 port

It's pretty close to $100/port these days.

You could just directly plug in without a switch if needed. Quad ports and such will do no good unless the PC using it has the same number of ports anyway..

That, too.
