I did a test with a brand new machine at work with a 5400rpm drive and a jellyfish file. The hardware played the file just fine but the drive couldn't supply the data fast enough and there was a lot of stutter.
I was also thinking that mechanic hard drive might not be able to keep up if 3-4 systems streaming at the same time.

Unless, i use SSD or raid setup......thats gonna be really expensive.
