With NAS builds you're usually network constrained. Most of the numbers you see on storage side are gigabytes while network is gigabits. i.e. 1/8th
So if you crunch the numbers you'll see storage (esp flash) is much faster than network, meaning NAS can cut corners on storage. If you're running something like a VM that accesses the storage directly then suddenly storage speed matters
