I suspect you'll now run into the Pi's USB bus bandwidth limitations. It's not the fastest thing when it comes to shoving data around.

I think Samba is built into the OMV software.
To ameliorate some of the bandwidth choking issue you mentioned, I'm rebuilding it around a M2.SATA SSD. I had noticed that when transferring data across my home network onto the old 1TB disk drive I was using for this experiment was way down - between 3 and 4MB/S. Several factors seemed to be having an impact not least of which was the network itself - a EOP system I've had for about 10 years that's great for avoiding cabling but not so great for speed.
EDIT
OK. That's done and running. The transfer speed has increased to 100MB/S plus a bit. Happy with that for the job it will have.
