Transfer rate more than enough for HD over N-wireless network.
On A side note:
Above storage is used (among other devices) by two Apple Tv 2 (jb with
Xbmc) and for fun, I will
add a Raspberry Pi model B which cost me almost 50$ in the USA. (ATV2
cost 103$ w/tax)
For those going the DIY route, older PogoPlugs can often be found for
between $12-$25 in the US (new from the store; they've spent the last
year clearing this inventory). These things come with Linux and some
software that lets you pierce firewall and access them from everywhere
(which is useful), as well as some photo and video conversion software.
You can reflash them with debian if you want full control. They are rock
solid, completely silent, 6W maximum draw (with 4 portable USB powered
drives), ARM with 128MB or 256MB (depending on model), with 1Gb ethernet
and 4 USB 2.0 - perfect with 1-2TB portable drives.

Pogoplugs also have Sata connector on board.
Support can be found in
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray.
USB 2.0 is slow for a file server.
The original implementation is lame to my taste.
You can't really flash new OS but rather boot it from a DOK or a Sata disk.
