I have a gentoo server running stable fully updated, and I share a folder
with samba on a gigabit network.
The client dual boots Gentoo (stable again) and Windows 7.
Under windows 7, getting a file from the server achieves around 70MB/s

The SAS drives that run at 15k RPM and cost $2-3 USD per GB. As opposed
to your "run of the mill" 7200RPM SATA drive that costs pennies per GB.
