Serious question: What do you use a 10GbE adapter for? Are there ISPs which offer 10gigabit bandwidth? I suppose it would be useful on a LAN
edit:
E.g., NAS on my LAN, especially for streaming high res video to devices in my house.
My gigabit connection is good enough for my NAS, as the read speeds on the hard drive itself tend to be limited to about a gigabit/s anyway. But I could see some kind of SSD NAS benefiting from a faster LAN connection.
If you shell money out for a full-flash NAS, you have the money to buy the bandwidth easily by the truckload.
