CIFS or SMB for sql server NAS storage?

[blakmk]

I know database storage requirements are different to those of standard file servers, in terms of the way that they use files etc.

Does anyone know which is better for a NAS based database storage solution, SMB or CIFS? Or can offer any advice on which would be more appropriate.

They are the same thing. SMB is CIFS. The question is using Windows or *nix and samba. Is that what you mean?
