When running iperf3 from my M1 Max MBP I get sustained transfer of 9.9Gbit/s to the NAS but when copying files through finder or forklift to the SMB share, it caps out at 250MBps. I just upgraded my network to 10g to try and fix some of the speed issues but for some reason SMB seems to be really unreliable to my Synology NAS (which is think is very similar to QNAP devices).

P.p.s Time machine is also slow as hell, much slower than it should be I'm using a docker container on the Synology NAS with iperf3 server and running the client on my laptop to get those results.Īlso if it helps I'm using a Synology DS3622xs+ with 1 of it's 10GB ports used. Sadly I don't have any other systems to test on but I was hoping someone would have some answers here. I have 4 enterprise HDD disks and im able to sustain 1100MBps easily with the hardware but for some reason SMB on macOS is garbage. Snow Leopard was the gateway operating system release that saw the end of the PowerMac line and introduction to the Intel Macs.Click to expand.I'm having similar issues. It was discontinued by the release of 10.6, aka Snow Leopard in 2009 in favour of USB devices. When Steve Jobs returned and Apple acquired Next and then started working on the MacOS X project, the need for AppleTalk and AFP was fading away, as support for the Common Internet Filing System grew, which is what Microsoft uses for it’s network filing system, but originated from IBM. Apple Filing Protocol, formerly called AppleTalk Filing Protocol has it’s roots in the networking of the Apple Lisa computer and interoperability through AppleNet and then through their slower speed AppleBus which enabled the keyboard, mouse and printers to be connected to a group of computers.ĪppleTalk became the communication method for file and printer sharing before the Internet.ĭuring the Internet years of the 1990s, Apple had a hard time justifying a system designed to connect devices in one local area network to other networks and across the Internet.
