Now Apple switched to SMB2+ as default because it is now the de facto sharing standard with much more features than AFP. MS does not support AFP and Apple supports SMB but was a lot faster with AFP. Microsoft developped SMB and Apple AFP for sharing. In summary, I would like help to understand which is the best protocol to use in a mac heavy environment. I am learning about all the different options (apple file sharing, SMB, SMB2, etc.), but would appreciate any guidance the think-tank has to offer. (lets say each shoot will produce 4gigs worth of data and there will be upto 6 shoots per day) Avg file sizes are in the neighborhood of 40MB each. The primary concern is the ability to backup the images from the macs as quickly as possible.
Every machine will connect via ethernet and/or wireless. The windows machine will be backing up financial data to the NAS and occasionally reviewing images processed on the macs. I am starting to research options for a NAS to store images (raw files) from the photo shoots. The macbooks will be used to retouch images, the mini will be used for displaying images to clients, and the windows machine will be my wifes daily driver. My wife is starting a photography studio which will include a couple of Macbooks a Mac mini, and a windows 10 laptop.
