The speed-limit I see is the CPU of my backup machine (it's _slow_).

And as for space .. I bought 6 disks of equal size (though from 
 different manufacturers/product lines, of course - well, yes, I'm 
 paranoid that way), and when only, say, 4 of them will still be 
 working, it'll be time for a capacity-upgrade anyway.
