Very Slow SMB Speeds of Nucleus on a Mac [Solved - Managed Switch Port]

[noris]

Hello @Andrej_Sali,

Thanks for contacting support, I’d be happy to assist here. The speed of SMB will depend on your network throughput and how it is set up, based on this thread somewhere around 47mbps (or 6MB/s) seems to be expected:

Internal vs. NAS with ROCK and slow transfer speeds

48hours * 60minutes * 53megabytes/min == 152640 megabytes (48gb + 104gb) 53megabytes/min / 60seconds == 0.883333333333megabytes/sec, or 904.5333kilobytes/sec 904kilobytes/sec == 7236kilobits/sec (or kbps), or a bit over 7megabits/sec (or mbps) I just did a quick test on my ROCK install at home: Over WiFi, from a Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.12.6, to a slow ExFAT formatted USB2.0 5200rpm Western Digital Passport drive from 4 years ago, connected to ROCK running on a NUC6i5, I am getting 47m…

Can you please post a screenshot or let me know the results of running the command
smbutil statshares -a in OSX terminal? It should list the SMB version being used and if SMB signing has been turned on. I saw this article which shows similar behavior where SMB speeds decreased because of a SMB signing change on Apple’s side and maybe this is what you are experiencing here.

Thanks,
Noris
