I've had the same problem as well. On 4.1.7 I had a matched pair of 1.5TB Seagate ST31500341AS. One started reporting SMART errors and then reported as failed. As a replacement I brought a 2TB WD Caviar Black WD2002FAEX.
I installed the disks and then upgraded straight away to 4.1.8. Performance when streaming Blu-rays was now choppy I read the forum and deduced that I needed to factory reset due to the change in sector size. So I backed everything up, factory defaulted and copied back a single Blu-ray. When I tried to play it back, still choppy. Copying a large file from the NAS to the PC got me about 8MBs.
I just saw this post. Rolled back to 4.1.7, file copy now runs at 12MBs + and Blu-rays are now streaming without any problems again.
I've had jumbo frames enable all the time so I'm not sure the problem is there.
