Any drive should read faster than media playback. I’d check the actual read speed and playback logs to make sure you’re not having other issues.

Unless you are running on Pata drives from the 90s or have movies in fucking 32k, there is no reason for movies on the hard drives to buffer.
Probably something going on with your server causing it. The HDDs connected to a bad card, or something keeping the drives very busy

HDDs are plenty fast enough to play movies. It sounds like you have another problem.
