I don't really have a way of testing this!
I have two media PC's that transfer data between each other. They are both using WD Red Plus drives. When I transfer data between them, I get about 110MB/s for large files, which equates to the speed of my LAN. My question is, has anyone tried with with a faster network? What will modern HDD's run at?
 
The answer is about 190MB/s on large files!

This of course is based on the files and disks I am using. They are WD RED PLUS drives.

I was asking the question, because I wasn't sure whether I would see any real world increase in speed using a 2.5Gbps network. The answer is yes! About a 75% increase in transfer speed.
