Afp Vs. Smb Vs. Nfs
Hi Folks,
I've just bought a shiny new MacMini to replace my iMac which exploded. I've decided to move my large Photos library on to my FreeNAS box. I will set up a dedicated share for this purpose. My question is, what is the best sort of share to enable for this? AFP, SMB, NFS? The profile is obviously lots of smallish (1-2MB usually) files.
Mac OS version: Catalina (10.15.2)
FreeNAS version: FreeNAS-11.2-U7
FreeNAS hardware is:
LeNovo TS140
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v3 @ 3.50GHz (8 cores)
32GB RAM
5x 10TB Drives in RAID-Z2
The only benchmarks/advice I can see are *way* out of date. I guess I'm leaning towards AFP, but only because that has Apple in the name.
Any recommendations?
TIA....

Essentially, NFS is the Unix way of doing network shares, AFP is the Apple way, and SMB/CIFS (they're basically the same thing) is the Microsoft way. Networks communicate with NAS devices using specific storage protocols. The most common protocols used are Server Message Block (SMB), Network File System (NFS), and Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), and depend upon the OS of the file share and the user’s connecting device. For example, NFS is common for Linux users, SMB for Windows, and AFP for Mac.
