You're the expert, but isn't the 100M/s for streaming not random read/write. For that, I suppose the disk drops to around 25M/s which is why I was mentioning 4 sata disks. When I was asking for comparing the 2 raids, It's was aside from performance, basically sata is obviously cheaper, it will saturate the gig link, so performance yes too, so the question becomes which has better data protection ( 8 sata raid1 or 8 sas raidz2)
