I'm thinking about used Infiniband switches and HCAs myself as well. Not that I really need it at home (or anyone really) but it'll be an interesting thing to tinker with.

Speaking of the OP's question, I just had a thought which I might try myself. If you want your SSDs in one NAS and other PCs connecting to it, then dualport (fiber) 10G NICs might work. Or two dualport NICs if you have more than two PCs connecting to the NAS. It'll still be cheaper than even cheapest 10G switches. Not very scalable, but do you need more than that in your home ?
