Kutipan dari website FreeNAS :
Then came iSCSI, which works with much cheaper Network Interface Cards (NICs), and can use regular network switches, as well us much cheaper copper cables. At first iSCSI wasn’t as fast as Fiber, topping out at gigabit speeds, so if speed was important, you’d stick with Fiber. Now with 10Gigabit Ethernet being readily available, you can get iSCSI SANs that are both cost effective and high performance.
Setelah tersedia layanan iSCSI dan telah dikonfigurasi dengan benar, maka saatnya untuk mengakses iSCSI yang dipergunakan sebagai drive tambahan di PC/Laptop kita.
