Yes my DIY 24-drive NAS does 2.6 GB/s and even multiple LTO drives can’t keep up with that :-)
Even my now decommissioned 8-drive NAS could do 800MB/s.
And my first 20-drive NAS (long since gone) from 15+ years ago could keep up. (Peak at 1GB/s)

We used to run "Dell" storage and tape (rebranded ADIC changer and Quantum/IBM drives). A tape changer would autoload tapes under command of the backup software. It would run overnight, automatically changing the tapes two or three times, as required, without issues.
Restore was another problem, mostly the fault of the software.
