Regrettably the hardware manual doesn't give the SATA version. I've seen some reseller sites that say it is SATA-300 - for instance here: https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/NETGEAR-ReadyNAS-5-Bay-NAS-Diskless-w-Exp-Chassis-RN300-500-EDA500-100NAS/2977645.aspx
That translates to 300 MB/s throughput (raw speed is 3 gbps, but the bus uses 8b/10b encoding - that gives you a 2.4 gbps max throughput).
