Don really know :) SMB = samba =cifs is a network protocol for sharing disks over networks, it not important windows knows what it is and the Touch do too. Samba "translates" between different OS's so you can use the NAS as any other "drive". So you can browse your network neighborhood and find it. You don't have to install anything Most if not all NAS disk run linux in the background, but with the help of smb it can appear as "drive" on the PC . Most NAS boxes have a nice web-UI Touch don't so it is not filled with backup programs and whatnot's like a regular NAS .
