Apple's OS X Mavericks hands-on, in picturesĪlas, SMB2 is supported by Mavericks more in theory than in practice. SMB2, which was introduced in Windows Vista in 2007, is now supported by Samba and Linux and, so Apple says, by Mac OS X. It's used by most network-attached storage (NAS) devices and file servers.
