[mdlug] Maxing out on 10/100 LAN

My Google-Fu hasn't been successful with this, quite yet.
 
In speccing out the new server to be built, I am wanting to maximize hard
drive reads/writes to at least the point where I could theoretically max out
the 10/100 LAN.
 
I am considering the following:
 
OS Installation - Standard Platter HD (Mirrored)
 
Active Job Drive - SSDs Mirrored+Striped or possibly RAID 5
 
Less active Folders and Archived Jobs - Mirrored+Striped or RAID 5
 
Will there be any percieved performance difference off the Active Jobs Drive
through a single 10/100 LAN Port on the server or should I just stick with
standard HD platters all around?
 
Thanks,
Rob
