    Both are served from the same machine, hosted on win7/64/pro

    The share of a /users from C: is pretty fast, connect, browsing, etc works as expected.

    The share of three directories from d: is slow to connect, show to browse, show to transfer.

    The disparity is performance is the same over wired or wireless. Clients are two laptops and two desktops on the same subnet.

    Ideas?

    Is the D: partition on the same disk or another disk?
    If another disk, may want to try some hard drive utilities to see what kind of data transfer rates it can sustain

    d: and c: are separate disks.... identical disks on separate mobo sata channels.

    this may be a remote differential compression problem, i seem to recall some technet articles on rdc and shares. time to do some lookup.

    ok, not an RDC compression problem although turning it off (!!!) has sped up transfers (go figure) on the home wired/wireless net.

    next to check? Anyone know how/what to check in terms of directory/attribute and credential caching for shares?
