Will the QNAP 509 handle bluray streams?

[KidKappa]

Hello, let me say I've never delved in NAS before so I may ask some noobish questions. But to start I really only have one question, will the QNAP 509 have enough throughput to handle full 1080p/TrueHD .m2ts files to the PS3? Around 50Mb/s I believe, with file sizes around but not limited to 30Gb? I've currently just been running them off my computer just fine but I'd rather have a dedicated unit to handle my multimedia. So can this or any other NAS handle this, and has anyone successfully done this? Thank you.

50 Mbit/sec is around 6 Mbytes/sec. Many NASes (the TS509 Pro included) can handle that.

I may have wrote that wrong, it could be 50 Mbytes/sec.

I think you do have it wrong. Uncompressed HD streams typically run around 20 Mbps.

Yes... Like what Tim mentioned. For the application to stream a Full HD video stream to another device near your TV, (like network media player, or HTPC). The bit rate is around 20Mbit/s per stream, and it is the number that an 802.11g hardly to handle but need the 802.11n.

Besides, for the heavy users, to back up these large-size video files always takes you a lot of time. For the high-performance Intel-based NAS, it delivers the speed for file transfer up to & over 50MB/s. depends on your client PC's spec.

Heres some bitrates of bluray, please look at the total bitrates.

And my client pc would be the ps3. Does anybody know if the 509 can handle these numbers? like I said there are some around 46 (?? mb/s ??)

Thanks.

From the notes at the top of that page:
"bitrates are averages and are in megabits per second (Mbps)"

I'm not so much worried in getting the terminology right as I am if given that my client is the ps3, my nas is the 509 and the throughput is as it states in these charts http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=3338 will it work?

Pretty much all nas will be able to stream fast enough. Aslong as your ps3 can playback the format your media is encoded in; you will be fine.
