200 MBytes/s isochronous sustained is generally difficult for a small system.
Even if you have enough "port bandwidth" you often approach internal bottlenecks
of small systems (eg. memory bandwidth). If you look at the large system
architectures which implement VOD, such as the Sun Streaming System,

You'll notice large (RAM) buffers between the disks and the wire.
