Bought a new Dns-327L...much better writing speed...around 60MB/s....unfortunately, streaming HD from this device is still a no-no...video will halt momentary every now and then just like the DNS-320l. I don't think it's a bandwidth or read speed not fast enough issue.
If i share a folder from the NAS and stream from my PC using TVERSITY, then there is no issue and can play smoothyly...
This will even use up more bandwidth with data transfer from NAS->PC--->Android Box, yet it does better.
My conclusion: Forget about NAS streaming HD movies....they don't have the processing power to do it or the streaming application sucks.... Haiz...Maybe those high-end NAS will do better.
I am using a DLINK DNS-320 with 2 x 3 TB drives. I have stuttering issues when streaming HD movies via normal SMB share (windows workgroup share). But if I switch it to NFS share, the result improved tremendously! I can stream a 4 GB 1080p mkv file with barely any jerkiness.If i share a folder from the NAS and stream from my PC using TVERSITY, then there is no issue and can play smoothyly...

However I am using raspberry pi on XBMC as my media player, that might be the difference here.
