Win NAS Performance Issues...

Question 
Hey Guys,

I installed xbmc on a friends computer and installed it in his theater, everything works great except movies coming off his NAS. He has a gigabit network with the 4TB Black Armor NAS, we can access all of the content but there is about a minute of buffering in front of DVD's and BluRay's will buffer every couple of minutes. The NAS is set up as Raid 5, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to NAS set up so I don't know if that is the issue or if I should be looking elsewhere? Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks

While I wouldn't suspect that RAID 5 would be the cause,...it is also not the best thing for storing and streaming content since a movie is read from everyone of the disks.
Would it be possible to copy a movie to another computer on his network and try to stream from there.
If it works fine,..it would rule out the network,,..but show that the RAID5 is the problem.
