Is that so crazy? If 10G was the default, you could just plop a cheap NAS at home and nobody would need to pay monthly subscriptions for cloud services.
- jmalicki 7mo agoFor cloud services, I only need to match the bandwidth my cellphone has for my home NAS, so 1Gbps would be fine. 10Gbps is like.... my /home on my desktop could be served via NFS from somewhere else and it would probably be barely noticeable. That's just another level of crazy.
- cbg0 7mo agoHow is 1G insufficient for running a NAS over the internet?
- jmalicki 7mo ago1Gbps is even slower than a SATA SSD that can saturate a 6Gbps SATA link. 10Gbps gets you speeds only a few times slower than a PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD. Except you can run that over the Internet!
- cbg0 7mo agoI'm aware of how fast an SSD is, but you're probably only accessing your home NAS from your phone or laptop which most likely won't have more than 1gbps, if that. If you're a power user you probably already have high speed networking inside your own home to max out a 10G link.
- jmalicki 7mo agoIf I only have 1Gbps, I'm not going to be using a NAS for something like /home, or other things that need to be performant.
