    iSCSI is great, but “home” NAS devices aren’t built to sustain high traffic loads.  Keep in mind that the peripherals installed, in home NAS devices, are designed to create a simple RAID solution to share files, basic multimedia streaming and maintain backups/redundancy.

    They are great for users that have small home/office networks and do not stream multiple large multimedia files. Home NAS and WHS are designed for basic file sharing and a basic multimedia experience, with a few nice features to make it more interesting.

    My home network is wired CAT6, i’m not a big fan of wireless, so i have great performance.  And forget about streaming multiple large multimedia files over wireless, then you will definitely experience connection breaks and lack of refreshes.
