> [on windows 11] my network samba shares stay connected and mounted through restarts. I could never make this work reliably on macOS. It’s wild to me that Apple has allowed SMB on MacOS to be so broken/slow and poorly implemented for so long. It’s been this way for over a DECADE. I have friends who work at production studios who complain about network storage and MacOS all the time given any modern video workflow involves a NAS. You would think a company that halos creative workers in all its ads would care about this. But they happily ignore since “SMB that works” is not a feature that will get much mainstream attention in a flashy keynote (that nobody watches anymore anyways). | ||

it's wild to me that Apple has retained SMB as the default option on macos for over a decade. There are plenty of faster/more secure protocols that are still widely recognized, yet they're still encouraging use of a protocol that could expose user data without so much as an Apple-y bother dialog about the consequences | ||

> It’s wild to me that Apple has allowed SMB on MacOS to be so broken/slow… Is 1100+ MB/sec read and write (single 10 GbE interface) slow? | ||

They rewrote their own SMB handler because they didn’t want the Samba license. Which means they get none of the improvements from the Samba code. | ||
