Network connection - which way?

OK - say you have a PC running a 1Gig LAN connection to a 1Gb switch using a CAT 5e / 6 cable.

On the same switch you have a NAS device with is also 1Gig capable and also using a CAT 5e / 6 cable.

Connected to the switch is a Linksys router running 100Mbps.

When I transfer files from the PC to the NAS would it go direct to the NAS through the switch at 1Gbps or would it have to go to the router in order to route the packets back to the NAS - thus being a bottleneck?
