Ah, Apple. SMB has always performed from horribly slowly a few years back, to barely decent recently, but is still way slower than NFS or (oh the irony) Appleshare on the exact same hardware. Tested a few years ago throughput to a big NAS connected in 10gigEo from a Hackintosh with BlackMagic Disk Speed Test : * running Windows, SMB achieves 900MB/s * running MacOS, SMB achieves 200MB/s * running MacOS, NFS and AFP both achieve 1000MB/s Anything related to professional work is a sad joke in MacOS, alas. (People keep repeating that AFP is dead, however it still works fine as a client on my Mac Pro -- and performs so much better than SMB than it's almost comical).
