[QUOTE="bence8810, post: 511807, member: 33623"] Hi I just came back home, and did a test but the SAMBA performace is much better than I thought, just like in my Office. I also tried to use it with Xee, another image viewer, and It went much much smoother over the network. Because of this, I didnt bother the Samba server and didnt move it to my LAN. Any other suggestions? It seems Samba performance is just great. Two things i would be interested in. Does anyone have an iPhoto library on a Samba server? Mine is not in the Database format, but keeping my folder strucure, I guess that should not affect it at all. Does anyone have 15000 photos on an iPhoto library locally? How is the performance? I am thinking of two solutions. I will either use several libraries, to cut them down, lets say 5 or so libraries, and check the performance that way, however I wouldnt like that either, as its nicer to keep it together. Or I will omit the use of iPhoto completely. I just like the nice interface, and the ease of use, however, if its so slow, I will stick to Xee which is blazing fast over Samba even. Any suggestions are welcome, Cheers Ben [/QUOTE]
