I am a dj by hobby but my laptop sometimes bogs down when im using a piece of hardware called Serato Scratch Live which basically is an external device that listens to timecode fed into it and slows down speeds up and scratches a mp3 in realtime.

the Serato box runs off of the USB bus. I have it plugged into my laptop and I also have a IDE to USB2.0 converter with all my songs on it. on occasion it will bog down and freeze up slightly which isnt good.

So i was thinking of getting an NAS drive and running the mp3 hard drive off of that and leave the USB clear for only the Serato box. but I was looking at the specs on some of the NAS drives and they seem to have more thoroughput availible on USB. Im confused what to do cause NAS will offer 100MBps but USB offers 400MBps.

Should I get the NAS enclosure or will my results likely be the same or should i transfer the ide music to a sata drive and run that in the NAS. or try Sata and USB? whats a better option without spending too much and getting the most bandwidth?
