There's no such thing as 'too fast', but do you really need to complete
you daily transfer in less than a second? On the practical side the
underlying disks aren't going to be that fast anyway.
You might if you have thousands of requests per second!!!
A 200 Meg file is likely to be completely cached in the ftp server's RAM
- and the cheapest way to get performance is to be sure that happens.
As a side note, when using the Promise VTrak and iSCSI it supports
multipath.
It would probably be simpler to provide a separate interface or two for
the ftp server <-> storage network than to go too crazy with
multipathing. And for an ftp server you shouldn't need a great deal
more speed on the filesystem side than you have on client connection side.
