Making a pool that can saturate 1000BASE-T?

Suppose you wanted to make a pool out of spinning 3.5" disks of a total of 24TB usable storage, and have that storage be able to reliably write and download at 1Gbps, even with a total of 24TB of data on the pool (obviously, this would mean that the pool has greater than 24TB of usable storage).

What would be the most economical way to do that, assuming using TrueNAS approved drives? I'm not really planning on doing this, but more out of a sense of curiousity.

Write speed around 400 Mbyte/s in this setup on an empty pool - 5x old HDD in raidz1.

Nothing fance, 1 Gbit LAN / wired connection should be saturated easily.

For my purposes I forgo of a SLOG device.
