Except that AFP is 3 to 5 times faster on 10GigE. SMB implementation on MacOS has always been a joke, and still is. As long as you're only networking with WiFi, it's probably OK. But when you do serious video editing, AFP still reigns supreme (but apparently almost nobody knows it).

Case in point : recently, tested using a Hackintosh and a hand-built high performance NAS (100 TB), 10GigE ethernet.

Running Windows 10 on the Hackintosh, SMB protocol : ~900 MB/s read/write

Running MacOS on the same machine , SMB protocol : ~200 MB/s read/write

Running MacOS, AFP protocol : ~1 GB/s read/write.
