I would imagine the bottleneck maybe the drive subsystem. After all, how
fast can the drives actually read/write data and depending on the type of
drives and subsystem at the source/destination. I can't remember the
specifics, but I think (I hope I got this right) about a 150megabit/s
transfer with SATA and Ultra2 SCSI drives. If the network is at 1000mb (1000
megabits/s), that's faster compared to the drive's capability.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
