I'm not so sure about that. Probably the disk is the bottleneck, not the
network. Assuming that one of the drives is a 7.2krpm drive it will have a
sequential read / write performance of somewhere around 120MB/s although
newer spinning drives do seem a tad faster than that. Running uncompressed
Rsync over SSH over a Gbit network I have seen more than 100MB/s however if
your files are compressible then you can see much better performance.
If your ethernet network is 100Mbit/s or the source and destination
networks are both SSD then yea... what he said :)
