Version ONTAP 8.1.4, and we will upgrade to 8.2.1. </P><P>We have 65 CIFS clients (Mostly Windows7 machines, few WinXP) and they work with 4GB files. </P><P></P><P> Let's say that about 10 clients writes or reads from the storage device at the same time. We have enabled SMB v2.1. </P><P>I noticed that the writing on the storage is faster than reading from it. </P><P></P><P> What are your suggestions of what to do so that we have maximum performance? </P><P>What could be the reason that writing is faster than reading?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:37:46 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/NetApp-FAS2240-4-write-faster-then-read/m-p/75774#M5283 TONI_CERKEZ 2025-06-05T05:37:46Z Re: NetApp FAS2240-4 write faster then read https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/NetApp-FAS2240-4-write-faster-then-read/m-p/75779#M5285 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>NetApp was never brilliant with large sequential reads.
