Any downside to Jumbo Frames??
If my NIC cards and switch support Jumbo frames, is there any downside to setting my Ultra 2 plus to enable Jumbo Frames?? I may have access to my NAS by an iPad, laptop and maybe one PC that do no...

I leave them off also. The overhead reduction on the network is negligible (about 1%), any performance gain you see is due to the reducing the CPU load in the clients.

I used to use them all the time, but my rates are faster with them off.
I have NASs, PCs, Switches, Media Streamers, Sonos, Access Points and more.
