HDD's used with 1000mb/s network?

Hey i was reading sumthing off of tomshardware and was wondering if it was at all possible to make a hard drive use a 1gb network connection as main way of getting files, if you think about it wouldnt that make a better use than sata or pata. i mean 1 gig a sec compared to 150megs a sec, what a nice change that would be. Maybe i am just wierd but i think this could be a revolutionary way to use data for gaming and high demands of 3d artwork. Thanks for reading and please post comments cuz i am not the smartest person when it comes to ata stuff.
 
its called Direct Network Attached Storage
DNAS


and so far there are no single Gigabit Drives Im aware of
they are all 100Mbs (not 100MBs = Gigabit =1000Mbs)

besides 1 Gigabit Gb = 100 Megabytes MB (ATA 100MB/s)
SI Standard being Decimal based not Binary
(though Gigabit Ethernet is duplex? and so the total transfer can be 2Gb/s???
Might need to look that up :p)

on top of which, no single HDD can do Sustained Transfer Rates of 100MB/ or 150MB/s (SATA), thats just the burst rate from the cache
STR's run from 80>30MB/s (current top end 15k SCSI 80>60MB/s, typical 7200rpm Parallel or Serial ATA 50>30MB/s)
which is why youd need a RAID array to simply saturate your normal PCI bus rate of 133MB/s,

now there are Gigabit DNAS arrays, and there are multiplexGigabit Standards too...

SCSI arrays have been employing U320 (320MB/s) for awhile and FibreChannel as well but typically with a server involved and PCI Bus speed\bandwidth of 64bit 66MHz or PCI-X 64bit 133MHz
which translates into 532MB/s & 1066MB/s respectively

but in truth you probably dont own a single application that can employ that type of bandwidth at the top end :p
But a RAID array (IDE-ATA\SCSI\FC) with more than just two channels employed for graphics\video\ect in a RAID 0 would need part of the bottom end of that bandwidth
say the 64bit 66MHz PCI over 133MB/s but less than the full 532MB/s

at the top end of either, youd need a multi user environment
to generate that kind of throughput

worth the read > As the Disk Spins @ Lost Circuits
specifically read Chapter III: > Interface Speed as Basis for Classification

but its better to start from the beginning
