Hi,
We have 2 NAS connected in 10 GB. If I mount one shared folder from the first NAS and another shared folder from the second NAS and start a copy from one to another, how is the PC is affecting the speed transfer? Is the file is going physically from the server #1 to the PC to the server #2?

Since the Pc is connected in 1 GB, that will slow down the process right?
 
Solution
Yes the file is going to the PC. Yes the 1GE link on the PC will slow things down. You would be much better off by logging into one NAS and copying directly.
