I'm sorry, I didn't phrase my question well. What I am attempting to determine is if moving to SSD's with O/S6 would be of any benefit in this NAS. If the NIC's are already saturated, going to SSD's wouldn't help at all. I'm trying to determine if the hard drives in XRAID2 are the slowest piece right now, or if the NIC's are the slowest piece. If the hard drives are the slowest, there would be benefit in attempting an upgrade to SSD's. If the NIC's are already the slowest part, no hard drive change is worth it.
Another way of asking it is, with the current hard drives, if the NAS is completely maxed out in throughput while moving data (not writing, but reading), which component is maxed out and holding it from allowing any more throughput? The NICs or the drives?
