I have been ripping Blu-rays as uncompressed MKV files using MakeMKV. The files are in the 20-30GB range each. For the moment I've been storing them locally on a USB 2 HDD attached to my XBMC. I'm doing this because my main computer is wireless only. I know that the wireless network (Airport Extreme N) will suffer greatly trying to sling that much content around but the backbone is gigabit...
So I've been thinking about getting a Synology DS413J NAS which has a gigabit connection. I figured I would connect that to the switch directly and let XBMC use SMB (NFS?) shares to access the big MKVs. Do any of the large brains in this forum see a problem with this plan? I read somewhere that there might be limitations streaming such large file sizes depending on the NAS which has me concerned.
