you are off by an a factor of 3-5 :).

The random consumer ssd reads/writes as 300-600megabytes/second, easily. That's 3-5gbps, not 1gbps.

A reasonable 7200rpm spinning disk can easily saturate 1gbps.

Most home grade nas RAID arrays can saturate 10gbps. (obviously not 2 spinning disk mirror ones :P)
