I am running GigE w/ Jumbo packets to a ReadyNAS NV. And, no, the disc accesses and transfers are not as fast as against a local drive. But they are pretty good. And better for reads than writes,
R:25MB/s, W:11MB/s (read in an article in German magazine c't)
And despite the potential speed issue, I think running the scanner on the PC rather than the NAS might still be a good approach.
