SMB vs NFS speed

19.03.2010

Copying a 3.2GB MKV movie file from my local hard drive to a Synology NAS (100-MBit ethernet)…

  • …using SMB – 6min 40sec
  • …using NFS – 5min 43sec (-14%)

Note: This is not a professional speed test, just a little experiment.

SMB is damn slow. we had tested the speed between smb and iSCSI… its enormous

Yep. My Synology NAS supports iSCSI too, but with NFS i can mount single shares, while still allowing SMB shares to be accessed.
