Throttle a file share in Windows Server (2008 R2)

We are in the process of moving our central storage to SharePoint and people are complaining about slowness because our former file share is so blazingly fast. Does anyone know a way for me to slow down or throttle access speed to a windows server file share to gradually make the perceived difference negligible, or even make SharePoint seem faster?

Answer

Technical Answer

Simply use one of a myriad of third party software tools to throttle bandwidth to and from the server, or put it behind a managed port on a firewall that can do the same.

Correct Answer

This is a personnel issue. Get business leaders to throw their weight behind one decision or the other. Technical solutions will always fail to truly solve personnel issues, especially when the technical “solution” is based on deception.
