That's a loaded question, it all depends on your use case after all.

Myself, I use NFS and iSCSI, I don't use CIFS/SMB because I have no use for it at this point (The only Windows machine in this house is the company laptop)

So.. what is your use case? Maybe then we'll discuss.

To those running NAS,

I'm thinking about turning my current i3-4170 desktop into NAS.

What protocols do you use?
Do you run both "NFS" and "SMB" on it? Or, just "SMB"?
