Assembling system for Storage Use

[swiftymicvey]

Dear Tom's Hardware experienced community,

As you can read from the topic i want to assemble a pc just for storage use, my purpose from this storage pc is just fastest transfer rate in reading, writing and performance on Lan, Security to data is not needed at all since same data are on another secured system.
Before i decided to assemble this system i purchased Seagate NAS STBN200 2 Bays and i have experienced the worst in my life its full of problems especially in what am searching for which is transfer rate speed through Lan am not going to go more in details about it after all i returned it back.

I have chosen this hardware hoping it will give me 1 gigabit (125mb/s) at all types of media iam transferring and any kind of data files.

Intel M/B DH87MC LGA1150
Intel CPU i3-4130 3.4ghz / 3MB Cash / LGA1150
Kingston KVR16N11S8/4 4 pieces 16 G.B. Total on 1600MHZ
Kingston SSDNow SMS200S3/120G 120GB 1.8" mSATA for operating system only (windows 7 ultimate 64 Bit)
4TB WD40EZRX (5 Pieces) 2 of them running on raid 0 and the 3 other running also on raid 0 at the intel raid controller on board (am not willing to purchase a raid card)
Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced RC-692A-KWN5 Mid Tower
Gigabyte GE-N400A-C2 400W PSU

Cisco-Linksys SE 2800 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch (for Gigabit network only no internet access)

Raided partitions (volumes) will be mapped on the network for reading and writing data.

Now the question is does this hardware gives a stable 1 gigabit transfer rate on reading and writing media and data files with my configuration anything else needed or missing ?

am looking forward to hear all the advices and the corrections needed.

Regards,

Your spec's look fine for this machine

Why are you choosing to use a windows os for this setup , if it were me i'd use something like freenas , to provide actual nas storage rather than windows shares

http://www.freenas.org/

your essentially building a NAS .... so use an os thats going to do it proud rather than a general purpose OS

I would like to build it as a NAS but does this freenas works as an independent OS or on windows ? and does it keeps my transfer rate or its going to reduce it ? one of the major decision i made this because i dont have an idea about Linux and command lines that's why i choose windows and mapping volumes

I have a home-built server running Windows Server 2012 R2 (TechNet license), and I have my data stored on a 3 TB HDD (Western Digital). I routinely get 1 Gbps when transferring large video files. In Task Manager my network is pretty much maxed out, anywhere from 950 to 996 Mbps, and Windows shows the transfer rate varying between 113 MB/s and 103 MB/s. The only added thing I do is to install Intel NICs (network interface cards) in all of my computers -- the integrated NIC ports would not sustain these speeds.

So you don't necessarily have to build a NAS with RAID to max out 1 Gbps.
