My experience differs

Unfortunately SATA III limits performance to a theoretical max of 600 MB/sec but in reality it's somewhat lower due to overhead.

Indeed having (somewhat under) 600 megabytes per second transfer rate overwhelms gigabit network speed of 125 megabytes per second. That's not where the improvement lies (in addition to eliminating unnecessary busywork).

In a NAS used for streaming music it doesn't matter. The end result with a HDD will be just as fast as the fastest SSD.

Sure it does. At least with my environment using LMS. Quicker random track access is a beautiful thing. :)
