The only question I haven't had answered, or maybe you have and I just don't understand is, if there is a blu ray player that I could plug a external hard drive into and play my SD videos? None that I know of, most(LG,Panasonic,OPPO) have a USB port but they are limited to AVCHD or MPEG-4 from a camcorder. Samsung and Sony BluRay players sold in the USA cannot be made region free, should you care at all about that. Any kind of RAID or RAID-like disk configuration is likely to be completely unsupported. Not that you would do this, but we had a post recently from some guy who set up 2 gigantic disk drives in BIG format (kind of like RAID) and he got pissed off that his playback device didn't support it. If it will play, the player will upconvert it. Upconversion from a hard drive is no issue. And finally note that you are definitely going to need any external disk drives to have their own power source as a big external drive won't be able to get the power it needs via USB only from a DVD or BluRay player. Support for external hard drives or flash drives seems a lot better on media players such as the Western Digital devices than on BluRay or DVD players. Your biggest issue is being sure that anything you buy will support NTFS as FAT32 has size limitations that you're not going to be happy with, especially with BluRay rips. Microsoft charges a lot for NTFS support, so few manufacturers will pay for it. Most DVD or BluRay players that play videos from a external devices require those devices to use FAT32 format.
