We all know the source is the key but regardless if your system cant write as fast as the data coming down it wont hit the max speed and is then limited to your systems weakest link.
As for Steam, when I had the 124 I never saw 55. I only saw 13-15 as the max. which makes sense.. 15x8 = 120 so that accounts for that. The 55x8 would be 440 which is close to the drives spec - Samsung 840 ProSustained Sequential Read540 MB/sSustained Sequential Write520MBps
Overall having my speed is great for mass downloads at the same time on multiple units without seeing any degradation in my speed. I will note that if I am streaming while gaming and also have my 6 camera security system streaming it will start to bog down a bit and may drop my stream for lack of quality.
