NAS Question
What's the fastest rack mount diskful SSD NAS I can buy? I would want one with 4 bays that hold 3tb ssd drives. I don't want to install the drives, I just want it to come to ready to plug into the network. I want it to be lightning fast, as people will need to store large backups quickly. Any help would be much appreciated.
I will take a quick look bu you are going to pay like $3K for something like this.

Ok, let me know.
You could use this and it in RAID10 and the disk output would be more than the network could handle. But the drives are not SSD.http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/NETGEAR-ReadyNAS-2120-RN21242E-NAS-server-8-TB/2995232.aspx
You will probably need 10Gb network to load an SSD array the way you talk about.

How do you gauge the speed? We have a QNAP at our datacenter and it is slow...
4 spindles serving this will be very fast. It will easily be able to keep up.

What is a spindle?
The pivot point of a disk drive. There are 4 disks in this box.

Wouldn't that be the same for any NAS with 4 hard drives?
