I really wish Apple would fix its SMB implementation - it's a mess.
I'm accessing an NAS from multiple macs and a PC. The performance and reliability with the PC is flawless when it comes to file transfers, browsing and general access. With the macs it's often uncertain whether finder.app will be able to connect, ask for my credentials again, fail to connect, seem to be connected, but really isn't, requiring a restart of the process, not show the NAS in the sidebar or anything inbetween.
And that's not even touching the subpar performance during transfers and listing of large directories.
Of course the NAS might be to blame but I see the same issues at work with the NAS.
