SATA 3 transfer rate is 600MB/s. A single WD Black 6TB HDD benchmarks in HDTune at about 200MB/s at the beginning of the drive. A SATA SSD almost saturates SATA 3. However, Gigabit LAN connection is only 125MB/s. Isn't a Gigabit LAN connection in a NAS setup a major bottleneck?
I'm a newbie, but I thought a NAS setup was generally attached to a network (hence network attached storage) , which would be dependent on a router, which is dependent on a Gigabit LAN connection. If this is true, then a big old raid setup in a NAS would be severely limited in speed, with Gigabit LAN being the weak link. Am I missing something...are my figures wrong?
