How is 1G insufficient for running a NAS over the internet?
- jmalicki 6mo 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 6mo 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 6mo 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.
