    10 year old Asustor NAS works better with media files than a Windows Server OS on superior hardware ??

    Put another drive in or use your os drive & do some local copy tests, what is the result i.e. try to ascertain whether its a storage issue or a network issue?

    Use HP StoreVirtual 3200 with other SSD hard disk

    Not to my knowledge (bit late but thought i'd put this here). If you did find different would really like to know!!

    did you "mess about" with things like receive side scaling or any of the other network nic config. I built a Windows 2022 based nas with an older microserver gen8 and the throughput was terrible until I spend a boring hour testing different configs.

    Setting up Active Directory - woes and considerations

    Bit like David says, stay away from GPO's until you are confident or if you want to experiment create a test OU, move user and computer objects in there and only link your test GPO's to that OU first. Once saw a bad GPO link destroy 110,000 workstations in a single mouse movement.

    First time building a NAS - I have lots of questions before I start

    I'd probably go with what you are comfortable supporting, unless part of your aims is to learn a new technology and the risks beholden in that choice. There's a lot of talk about how things can destroy your data in this thread but human f-ups are far higher on the probability scale than say the...
