A: There are many factors that affect data rates of a given NAS setup. The Synology 60TB DiskStation DS1522+ 5-Bay NAS Enclosure Kit with Seagate IronWolf NAS Drives' (5 x 12TB) data rate will depend on the RAID format you choose, the speed of your network switch, possibly your internet speeds if accessing remotely via the internet, if you add a network card to the switch, the drive's speed, the number of people accessing the NAS at a given time, the added M.2 drives/RAM, and the network connection speed of the computer that you are accessing the NAS from. All parts of the network must be up to speed to support a given data rate.
