Maybe there is another solution to this. Tell me if this makes sense to you: If a GigaLan has a max theoretical transfer rate of 125 mb/s, but our Hard Drives can only transfer at [actual] rates at say 50 mb/s, then maybe the HD is the bottleneck on a GigaLan network. I am wondering, would upgrading the Hard Drive to a faster drive (such as a solid state drive) help maximize ethernet transfer capabilities?
Hello, thank you for the suggestion. I was not aware that a 10Gbps network cards existed! That may be a solution for us. However, in addition to the two network card, wouldn't I also need a 10Gbps hub as well?

I meant just by itself with a standard usb cable. Plugging in one to the other won't get you data transfer capabilities.
Of course it's possible to write up something which uses the USB protocol to send/receive data, which is what that link you posted does. Whether someone has written and released a program to do this via USB3 I don't know. If nothing has been released yet, your other options would be...
1. Buy two 10Gbps ethernet cards. Probably be about $300 each.
2. Buy two fiberchannel cards. Could cost anywhere from $60 to $500, depending on what you get.
3. Buy two more 1Gbps cards and configure load balancing on the PCs
