I've stored various videos on various NAS devices, not DVD rips (that's 
illegal here) but mpegs, avis andother formats.

A 100-base-T network is plenty fast enough for SD assuming that there is 
not enough other traffic on the network to cause slowdowns. Obviously 
the server needs to be fast enough as well but unless you are running 
Samba on a Commodore-64 or something like that it should be OK.

In general NFS is better than Samba if you have a choice in the matter.

There are also the NDAS devices that operate on a non-TCP/IP level, they 
seem to work fine as well.
