But "faster" is not always the way to measure things.

In this topic, I think that raw disk access speed is not a critical 
value; I've tested our setup with maildir on NFS and performance is 
close enough to local disks. Given this, I prefer the extra features 
our NAS/SAN setup gives us, like having data replication between 
phisically separated disks in a couple of clicks ,redundant paths to 
data, easier management, ...
