I think you are on the right track with that Qnap product with the 10Gbe ports. 2x1Gb ports would yield double the speed at best. You might be running into a situation where your older NAS can't saturate gigabit but it's hard to say. I don't know off hand how photoshop handles caching huge files but do the workstations involved have enough RAM to load these 1GB files completely?

I've never seen a PERC perform anything other than poo poo. That doesn't mean anything though.
