You should keep in mind the desired I/O performance for single-threaded requests . This system does not use RAID, so a single disk handles each request for an object. Disk performance impacts single-threaded response rates.
To achieve apparent higher throughput, the object storage system is designed to handle concurrent uploads/downloads. The network I/O capacity (1GbE, bonded 1GbE pair, or 10GbE) should match your desired concurrent throughput needs for reads and writes.
