Which storage technology supports speeds up to 16 Gbps?

Network File System (NFS) is a file-level sharing protocol that operates over IP networks; when deployed on high-speed Ethernet (e.g., 10 Gigabit Ethernet links aggregated or faster 16 Gigabit Ethernet), it can support effective throughputs of 16 Gbps or more.

Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is primarily a block-level interface for direct-attached storage or within a SAN, and while Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) offers high speeds, 16 Gbps is not its most common peak nor is it a file-level protocol.

Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) is a direct-attached block-level interface, with SATA III offering a maximum theoretical speed of 6 Gbps, which is significantly lower than 16 Gbps.

Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed, block-level protocol used in Storage Area Networks (SANs) that does support 16 Gbps links; however, it provides block-level access rather than file-level access like NFS.
