1. A method for configuring a client workstation with one or more settings for optimum bandwidth, latency and stability for file exchange utilizing SMB or NFS protocols over a local area network with a network attached storage device, the network attached storage device having a memory with audio and video media footage stored on the memory and an operating system, wherein optimum bandwidth, latency and stability are selected to optimize performance of non-linear editing (NLE) software running on the client workstation for the purpose of editing audio and video media footage stored on the network attached storage device, comprising:
connecting the client workstation configured to run non-linear editing (NLE) software to the network attached storage device;
using the network attached storage device to extract from the client workstation one or more attributes of the client workstation;
running an optimization module on the network attached storage device to calculate a score based on the one or more attributes of the client workstation;
using the score to consult a database comprising optimum configuration settings for the client workstation to determine the one or more settings for optimum bandwidth, latency and stability for file exchange of shares with the network attached storage device; and
modifying the client workstation settings to be selected from the extracted one or more settings for optimum bandwidth, latency and stability for file exchange utilizing SMB or NFS protocols over a local area network with the network attached storage device shared storage server.
