NAS vs SAN Latency Comparison

Compare NAS and SAN access latencies. SAN (iSCSI/FC): 0.1–2 ms block-level access. NAS (NFS/SMB): 1–10 ms file-level access with protocol overhead. NVMe-oF approaches local NVMe latency.

How to Use

Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Compare NAS and SAN access latencies. SAN (iSCSI/FC): 0.1–2 ms block-level access. NAS (NFS/SMB): 1–10 ms file-level access with protocol overhead. NVMe-oF approaches local NVMe latency. Use the nas vs san latency result to inform your calculation.
