CIFS (Computer Internet FileSystem, see also e.g. [1]) is a more recent extension of the SMB protocol developed at IBM, and later by Microsoft. SMB originally worked on top of a NetBIOS layer, which meant you could run it over IPX, as well as TCP/IP (via NBT, NetBIOS over TCP/IP). CIFS can additionally work on TCP/IP without using NetBIOS.
Related ports: 445/TCP indicates the NetBIOS-less TCP/IP service. A CIFS-capable clients will typically try to connect to 445 and fall back to 139, or possibly try both connections simultaneously. 139/TCP is NetBIOS session: connection handshake, authentication, and main data transfer 137/UDP is the NetBIOS nameservice (NBNS), which usually broadcasts on the local subnet 137/TCP - reserved (convention of marking udp+tcp variant of a port as the same thing), or actually used by NBNS/WINS?

I had a similar issue on several of my workstations where they could not write to the USB drive on another computer, etc. and it was because of buffering issues and the speed of the USB 2.0 cable. the NAS unit fixed the problem. Furthermore, have you tried using Windows Explorer and typing in the IP address of the computer that the drive is connected to? Abstract. MountWindowsSharesPermanently.
