Of course there are exceptions. But IME, I've never seen a
network-based I/O system that can provide the performance
scalability of a channel I/O system. Don't forget that
a NAS uses one or more network connections presumably in a
single card.
Now I don't care how fast your Ethernet may be, it just by design
cannot cope with a busy I/O demand. Single-task, single-user
(the way "scalability is "measured" nowadays...) it may
show good results. Wait for the first collision...
