hi,

in our small motion design company we all connect to a NAS4Free Fileserver and are working directly on the server.

I get 890 MBit/s copying files to the server through Explorer but if I, for example, save a big file from Photoshop directly to the server I get a max of 200Mbit/s. A significant difference in speed. It pretty much happens with all Adobe Apps and Cinema4D.

Is there anything I can do to speed that up?

Thanks
 
it is a problem with adobe applications themselves, they just do not like or support networked drives officially and will have strange behaviour when saving or loading from them.

best bet is for people to save locally then copy to the network drive.
