Access Connect Server Network Interface Card Performance
Network Reshare routes all communication between your Mac clients and your file server or NAS storage through the Windows server where Access Connect is installed. Installing Access Connect on a server with the fastest available NICs, and ideally one or more dedicated NICs for communicating with the servers or NAS being reshared, will result in the highest level of performance.
Windows 2008 and SMB v2
While Network Reshare is compatible with Windows 2003 and 2008, the SMB v2 protocol supported by Windows 2008 consistently demonstrates higher levels of performance. Installing Access Connect on a Windows 2008 server and using remote storage that is running Windows 2008, or a NAS operating system that supports the SMB v2 protocol, will result in the best file sharing throughput for Mac users.
