I've got a setup at my workplace with an Ubuntu machine sharing a NFS store which I connect to from my ESXi machine.

I haven't tried checking performance with iSCSI, but it might be worth a shot.
The easiest way to set it up is by NFS I guess (as stated, havent tried iSCSI)
What kind of NAS do you have?
