At work I have been arguing with a colleague of mine that the way our server is configured now is the same speed as a SAN or NAS and that spending the money on either of these would be a waste of money . We currently have two 1 terabyte hard drive storage arrays (in RAID 5), connected to one server, that his group and only his group can access. The LAN goes from the server room to a switch closet to his desktop via gigabit switches. Now is a NAS or SAN faster or are they the same speed for high data transfers?
