Enhancing macOS SMB Network Share Performance
In my quest to build the ultimate home server, I recently constructed a new Network Attached Storage (NAS) system with powerful hardware and abundant storage capacity. The goal was to create a versatile and efficient home server capable of saturating Gigabit network speeds consistently for both read and write operations. While I achieved the expected results on my Linux and Windows machines, my macOS-based laptop struggled to achieve satisfactory speeds. I’ll share my experiences and the optimizations I employed to overcome the performance limitations on my Mac.
