> fast enough for what I need to for anyway, which is to watch videos off Jellyfin or host a Minecraft server.
4k Blu-ray rips peak at over 100 Mbps, but usually average around 80 Mbps. I don't know how much disk I/O a Minecraft server does ... I wouldn't think it would do all that much. USB2 (high-speed) bandwidth should be plenty for that; although filling the array and scrubbing/resilvering would be painful.
Even though I have over four hundred Blu-rays, I would of course NEVER condone breaking the DRM and putting them on Jellyfin no matter how easy it is or how stupid I think that law is because that would be a crime according to the DMCA and I'm a good boy who would never ever break the law.
That said, I have lots of home movies that just so happen to be at the exact same bitrates as Blu-rays and after the initial setup, I've never really had any issues with them choking or any bandwidth weirdness. Minecraft doesn't use a ton of disk IO, especially since it is rare that anyone plays on my server other than me.
I do occasionally do stuff that requires decent bandwidth though, enough to saturate a WiFi connection at the very least, and the USB3 + USB SS + Thunderbolt never seems to have much of an issue getting to Wifi speeds.
