Depends on the NIC the NAS uses (and other components of the network). If we assume that the NAS and network use Gigabit equipment (pretty standard), then you won't be able to transfer over 1000Mbps. Most HDDs cap out around 110-180MB/s, which is around 880Mbps to 1440Mbps. Having super fast drives doesn't really make sense when you're being limited by the network most of the time.
