All Macs are currently featuring a Gigabit Ethernet port. For Professional requirements, one can find 10 Gbit/s Ethernet cards. Needs have evolved with time, and ten years ago, the Gbit format was consider as gadget for rich users who could not really benefit from it. Today, it is quite obvious that it is really a big advantage to get Gbit ports when using NAS.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) agreed on a target for the next generation of the data networking technology, defining the basis of 100Gbit version of Ethernet. The new format should be finalized in a decade.
As for NAS today, HD data transfer speed will also evolve and performances increase paving the road to a network based storage. But some HD features will have to be improved, such as rotation speed defining the physical limit... towards a new era of NAND-only based HD?
