What is the impact of drives larger than 500GB on the N299?

Have been helping a friend who purchased the N299 and 2x 750GB SATAII drives. Have them running in JBOD and have copied a number of divx/xvid films to the NAS which are accessed via CIFS/SMB shares by an Xbox running XBMC. Previously he accessed shares on his PC but didnt want that left on all the time so I suggested he buy the N299, however we have noticed severe issues like choppy video playback, inability to scan through a video file. Currently running 1.0.0.28

Basically, what is the impact of using 750GB drives, he has two 500GB drives in his PC that I could swap but it will involve moving around a fair chunk of data.
