Azure file Share Performance issue
Hi Team, I have recently migrate on-premise file server to Azure file share and setup AD authentication. It's public endpoint but we i am copied like 6 GB data then it was taken more then 2 hours ev...
Try the below mentioned steps
1. Use AzCopy – Faster than manual copying.
AzCopy copy "C:\yourfolder" "https://<storageaccount>.file.core.windows.net/<fileshare>/yourfolder" --recursive
2. Enable SMB Multichannel – Improves throughput.
Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $true
3. Use a Private Endpoint – Reduces latency vs. public endpoint.
4. Check Storage Tier – Consider Premium File Share for SSD speeds.
5. Monitor Metrics – Check Azure Monitor for IOPS, latency & bottlenecks.
6. Increase TCP Window Size
Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableLargeMtu $true
For best results, test AzCopy & switch to a Private Endpoint.
