Dropt these lines into your smb.conf file to speed up Samba access. Find the Global area section and paste them underneath:
read size = 65536
read prediction = true
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
Depending on your network card and configuration, this should speed up your LAN transfers at least tenfold.
Really useful tip… I’ve used other parameters for optimizing, but this ones make samba even more faster, thank you!

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 Worked just fine but where do I put the other two line samba does not recognize them.
Sorry I did not get the whole global area settings in your post
