Fastest sharing method over lan
What sharing method that I can map it as a network drive has the fastest transfer speeds? I only need it to be shared over my LAN, for any outside access I will use a VPN from the same computer that is hosting the drive.
There's a 3TB drive in the desktop that I want to be able to share to other computers (both mac, PC, and iPhone) over my LAN and have it show up for them in My Computer.
So what method has the fastest transfer rates? I tried SMB but It only fluctuated between 2MB/s and 500KB/sec, but that was only with a 10/100 ethernet card. Would getting a gigabit card speed this up to at least 6MB/s minimum?
FYI I also enabled it to have FTP access for easy use with XBMC.
