Your setup looks impressive and well thought-out. However, there are some factors to consider when it comes to maximizing transfer speeds. While your calculations regarding RAID 0 performance seem correct on paper, real-world scenarios can vary due to several reasons.
Firstly, it's important to note that advertised speeds, especially for hard drives, are often achieved under ideal conditions and with specific file types. In practice, factors like file size, fragmentation, and the overall system load can affect the achieved speeds. It's quite common to see actual transfer rates fall short of advertised figures.
You might consider setting up iSCSI and performing your transfers through that protocol. This could potentially yield higher speeds, potentially in the range of 500-600MB/s, though it's still unlikely to reach the maximum theoretical 800MB/s due to the inherent limitations of hard drives.
The green lights on your ethernet ports indicate a 10Gbps connection, which is great. However, the performance you experience could also be influenced by the network infrastructure and switch capabilities. The orange light you mentioned generally indicates speeds below 1GbE, but the precise behavior can be switch-dependent.
