My NAS setup for XBMC (also associated hardware details) and approximate upload/download speed details.
Add your experiences if you want.
Netgear Stora MS2110 1TB Firmware 2.5.1
ATV2 iOS 4.2.1 XBMC Pre-10.0 Git 4b032be (Compiled Feb 19 2011)]
Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1
Above connected through x2 3Com Office Connect Gigabit Switches
Speed - SMB share
1.4GB file (PC to NAS) 21 - 28MBs
1.4GB file (NAS to PC) 41 - 50MBs
Issues:
1/ Some large 1.4GB files buffer about every 20sec on the ATV2, but I don't believe it's a problem with the speed of the NAS.
2/ You have to save your files in the Stora's file structure which consists of two folders, FamilyLibrary & MyLibrary. Those folders cannot be renamed however you can rename or add new folders under these.
3/ USB to Stora (using the front USB socket) transfers are painfully slow at about 10MBs
I am very impressed with the Stora, it appears to be very fast and I've only had the above issues.
