Upgrade controller on PS4100 from (2*1Gb) to (2*10Gb) is it possible?
I currently have a PS4100 model # 70-0476 with a dual 1 Gb uplinks controllers. I need more bandwitdht for my backups and was wondering if its a possibility to "upgrade" the controller to a dual 10Gb uplink one?

Short Answer: No.
This question wasnt here the first time and the dell guys always answering with a no. There was never a CM Upgrade Kit SKU.
Also a PS4100 sounds like 12x3.5" disk and with a working MPIO and a sequential read you can get up to 200MB/s. I doubt that 12 slow 3.5" disk can deliver the performance for 10GbE. The 4100 is also end of sale.

On non-random IO (e.g. backups or streaming audio/video), a 7200rpm drive can typically sustain 120-170MB/s. Put 10 or so in a raid set, the raid set should be able to sustain well over 500MB/s with a decent raid controller.
However, once you go random IO, a 7200rpm drive is a whole different story.
