What's everyone's onion about NFS vs SMB? I have both working now, I just still have SMB enabled for my main HTPC in my living room. Is NFS enough of a better protocol do go home-wide using NFS instead of SMB?
Server: Synology Diskstation 1511+ with 8x WD Red NAS 3TB drives, DSM 5.2
Main HTPC: Home Built i3, 8GB RAM, Corsair 128GB SSD, nVidia 630GTX, Harmony Home Control, Pioneer VSX-53, Panasonic VT30 65" 3D TV, Windows 10, Isengard
Bedroom HTPC: Zotac-ID 41 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Rii micro keyboard remote, Samsung HW-E550, Sony 32" Google TV, OpenElec 6.0 beta 4

I'd stress test both of them - in theory, NFS is supposed to have less overhead and if it works for you, I don't see why you can't use it 'home-wide', provided everything supports it.

+1 NFS for streaming. Much better than smb. Easy thing to test but with a huge variety of hardware it's always been distinctly faster for me.
