A NAS share mounted with SMB 2.0 failed during large video writes; switching the mount to SMB 3.0 resolved the issue.

Protocol version

There are multiple versions of SMB. When I mounted a NAS share via SMB 2.0, I ran into problems writing large video files. Mounting the share with SMB 3.0 solved the problem.
