Re: gigabit network and 100 base internet?

The gigabit won't affect your networking, AAMOF, I have that setup. I have a 100mbit router and a gigabit switch with all the systems connected there.

The bad news is, unless that's an exceptional NAS, you won't see any change in performance! Most of the stand-alone SOHO NAS units won't saturate a 100mbit connection. The gigabit connection is mostly for ad copy, not real performance.
