I never used, but I would avoid SMB if possible. It’s never very good for a repository.

thanks. What issues are there with SMB apart from potential security based on a common protocol. We could go with NFS v4

I worry about performance. SMB it’s not very good, but you can test to see if the performance is good for your enviroment.

Never dealt with those appliances but I would set up two tests - SMB and NFS.  You will find that NFS will work much better especially v4 of it as you can do multithreading.  Never use SMB anymore.

Let us know how it goes as it will definitely help out others.

thanks for your help and yes will keep you posted on progress…..
